What you want to do here is plug 2 in for x. when a question asks you to evaluate a certain equation at a certain number, it's just asking you to plug the value in for your variable. i'm assuming that 12x + 8 is meant to be set over 4 as a fraction.
(12(2) + 8)/4 ... figure out the top first. 12*2 = 24, 24 + 8 = 32.
32/4 = 8, so your correct choice is D.
We need to use the formula for simple interest which is
I= prt
Where I is the amount of money you earned or pay in interest
p is the principal, the amount you deposited or borrowed
r is the interest rate expressed as a decimal
t is time in terms of years
In this problem, I= 1,680
p= 3000
t= 8
'. r is what we are looking for.
Substituting the numbers into the simple interest formula, we get
I=. p r t
1,680=(3000)(r)(8). Multiplying
1,680= 24,000r Divide both sides by 24,000
0.07= r
So, the percentage is (0.07)(100)= 7%...
Answer:
x = 3
Explanation:
15x + 5 + 22x + 4 + 60 = 180
37x + 69 = 180
37x = 111
x = 3
