Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x in 5x - 2 = 3x + 8 start by getting the variables on the same side. To do this, subtract 3x from 5x. (you always do the opposite of the term's operation)

2x - 2 = 8 now add 2 to 8

2x = 10 now divide 2

x = 5

I hope this helped :)

The formula for the future value V (in dollars) of an investment earning simple interest is V=p+prt, where p (in dollars) is the

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

A. $p=\dfrac{V}{1+rt}$

B. $2,307.69

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the formula

$V=p+prt,$

where V = investment earning simple interest

p = principal,

r = interest rate

t = time

So,

A. $V=p(1+rt)\\ \\p=\dfrac{V}{1+rt}$

B. r = 0.06 (or 6% as percent)

V = $3,000

t =5

so,

$3,000=p+p\cdot 0.06\cdot 5\\ \\3,000=p+0.3p\\ \\1.3p=3,000\\ \\p=\dfrac{3,000}{1.3}\approx 2,307.69$

Simplify negative 5 minus the square root of negative 44 negative 5 minus 4 times the square root of 11 i negative 5 minus 4 i t

Anika [276]

Answer:

$-5-\sqrt{-44}=-5-2\sqrt{11}i$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to simplify:

$-5-\sqrt{-44}$

We rewrite the expression under the radical sign to obtain:

$-5-\sqrt{4\times11\times -1}$

We split the expression under the radical sign to get:

$-5-\sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{11} \times \sqrt{-1}$

Recall that:

$\sqrt{-1}=i$

This implies that:

$-5-\sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{11} \times \sqrt{-1}=-5-2\sqrt{11}i$

Therefore $-5-\sqrt{-44}=-5-2\sqrt{11}i$
