Answer: C. Distribute 3/4 over (x-8)
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve any(technically most, but still...) algebraic equation you must isolate the variable. In this case, the first step would either be to divide both sides of the equation by 3/4, or distribute 3/4 to x and -8, as you cannot modify the contents of the parenthesis without removing the 3/4.
Hope it helps and lmk if you further explanation <3 :)
Answer:
f(X)=7 X=1
X=2. f(X)=14
f(X)=21. X= 3
X=4. f(X)=28
X=5. f(X)=35
just substitute in the equation
Alright, so you have the basic formula- good.
You have the A value (400), the interest rate r (7.5% -> .075 in decimal), and the final P value (8500). So, we only need to solve for t.
8500 = (400)(1+.075)^t
/400 /400
21.25 = 1.075^t
logarithms are the inverse of exponents, basically, if you have an example like
y = b^x, then a logarithm inverts it, logy(baseb)=x
Makes sense if you consider a power of ten.
1000 = 10^3
if you put logbase10(1000), you'll get 3.
Anyways, though, to solve the problem make a log with a base of 1.075 in your calculator
log21.25(base 1.075) = t
also, because of rules of change of base (might want to look this up to clarify), you can write this as log(21.25)/log(1.075) = t
Thus, t is 42.26118551.
Rounded to hundredths, t=42.26
The first step would be to add 7 to both sides.
3n-7=30
add 7
3n=37
divide by 3
n=12.33
