Answer:
a. 2.5
b. 2.333
c. 2.85
Step-by-step explanation:
A) 1. subtract -x on both sides 2. to get 3x-1/2=7
3. Add 1/2 on both sides 4. to get 3x=7.5
5. divide 3 on both sides 6. To get... x=2.5
B)1. Same process. 2. x+2=13/3
3. x=13/3-2 4. x= 2.33(repeating)
C) 1. same process. 2. 2x-x/3=3+7/4
3. 2x-x/3=4.75 4. Isolate -x/3
5.-x/3=4.75-2x 6. multiply both sides by 3
7. -x=14.25-6x 8. 5x=14.25
9. x= 2.85
* remember to distribute the 3 to each variable.
<span>This question is an annuity problem with cost of the car = $32,998, the present value of the annuity (PV) is given by the difference between the cost of the car and the down payment = $32,998 - $4,200 = $28,798. The monthly payments (P) = $525 and the number of number of years (n) = 5 years and the number of payments in a year (t) is 12 payments (i.e. monthly) The formula for the present value of an annuity is given by PV = (1 - (1 + r/t)^-nt) / (r/t) 28798 = 525(1 - (1 + r/12)^-(5 x 12)) / (r/12) 28798r / 12 = 525(1 - (1 + r/12)^-60) 28798r / (12 x 525) = 1 - (1 + r/12)^-60 2057r / 450 = 1 - (1 + r/12)^-60 Substituting option A (r = 37% = 0.37) 2057r / 450 = 2057(0.37) / 450 = 761.09 / 450 = 1.691 1 - (1 + r/12)^60 = 1 - (1 + 0.37/12)^-60 = 1 - 0.1617 = 0.8383 Therefore, r is not 37% Substituting option D (r = 3.7% = 0.037) 2057r / 450 = 2057(0.037) / 450 = 76.109 / 450 = 0.1691 1 - (1 + r/12)^60 = 1 - (1 + 0.037/12)^-60 = 1 - 0.8313 = 0.1687 Therefore, r is approximately 3.7%</span>
