A could be 2 while B could be 3, so -2a+3b turns into -4+9, which equals 5.
From what I know you can't really solve a a single equation with two-variables so it's just a matter of trial and error.
Just try plugging in a small number like 2 for a just to try it and you get 8b^2=72.
Divide everything by 8 to isolate b and you get that b^2=9.
Square root everything and you'll find that b=3. This is just one possible combination, I'm sure there are many more but this is obviously the one that was intended to be found.
Now that we know that a=2 and b=3 just plug them into the equation.
-2(2)+3(3)=?
-4+9=?
5
Sorry about having to use this ^ symbol, the equation maker is not working.
The slope is undefined because it is a vertical line on the x axis at 0. Its a straight line going up
Answer:
a. Total cost of the principal = $217,411.20
b. Interest for the mortgage loan = $104,911.20
Step-by-step explanation:
Total cost of the principal = Monthly payment * Number of years * Number of months in a year = $603.92 * 30 * 12 = $217,411.20
Total cost of the principal of the loan includes the mortgage loan amount and the interest for the mortgage loan. Therefore, the interest for the mortgage loan can be calculated as follows:
Interest for the mortgage loan = Total cost of the principal - Mortgage loan amount = $217,411.20 - $112,500 = $104,911.20
Answer:
see attached
Step-by-step explanation:
A spreadsheet is a useful tool for keeping track of the numbers. A picture of one is attached.
We have assumed that the dollar amount for housing computed in the first part remains the same (though the percentage changes). If that is not the case, you'll have to recompute.
Likewise, we assume that the "5%" retirement amount remains 5% of the nominal salary, rather than 5% of the salary after the mandatory retirement deduction. Similarly, we assume dance lessons remain at their original amount, and were not reduced when the company began taking mandatory retirement.
Feel free to build your own spreadsheet and recompute as needed for any assumptions I got wrong, or for any additional scenarios.
