Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other.

First, subtract 2 from both sides

2 (-2) - x = (5/8) - 2

-x = 5/8 - 2

Make sure they have the same denominator. Remember that what you multiply to the denominator, you multiply the numerator:

-x = 5/8 - 16/8

-x  = - 11/8

Isolate the x. Divide -1 from both sides

(-x)/-1 = (-11/8)/-1

x = 11/8

11/8 is your answer for x

Solve for y: 1.7-(3+2.4y) = 4(3y-2.91)
frez [133]
1.7-3-2.4y= 12y-11.64

-1.3-2.4y = 12y - 11.64

-2.4y = 12y - 11.64

-14.4y = -10.34

y= 10.34/14.4= 5.17/7.20 or 517/720

Belinda wants to invest in an option that would help to increase your investment value by the greatest amount in 20 years. Will
Molodets [167]

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A, Option 1 is a exponential function while option is a linear equation.

Part B, Let y=b*a^(x) be the function for option 1. At x=1, y=1100 and at x=2, y=1210. 1100=b*a and 1210=b*a^2. Dividing them both we get, b=1.1 and a=1000. y=1000*(1.1)^(x). For option 2, it's a linear equation with a function y(x)=1000+100x.

The 20 year difference would be immense. With option 1, Belinda will get $6727.5 whereas with option 2, they will end up with $3000
