Answer:

x = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

8x - 3 = 5(2x + 1) ← distribute

8x - 3 = 10x + 5 ( subtract 10x from both sides )

- 2x - 3 = 5 ( add 3 to both sides )

- 2x = 8 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = - 4

Answer:

x = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

8x - 3 = 5(2x + 1)

8x - 3 = 5 × 2x + 5 × 1

8x - 3 = 10x + 5

8x - 10x = 3 + 5

- 2x = 8

2x = - 8

x = (- 8)/2

x = - 4

Thus, The value of x is -4

Find the payment necessary to amortize a 6.3% loan of 7500 compounded semiannually, with 6 semiannual payments. Find the payment

Lorico [155]

Answer:

Semiannual payment = $ 1391.37

Total payment = $ 8348.22

Interest paid = $ 848.22

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the semiannual payment formula of a loan,

$P=\frac{PV(\frac{r}{2})}{1-(1+\frac{r}{2})^{-n}}$

Where,

PV = present value of the loan,

n = number of semiannual payments,

r = annual rate,

Here, PV = 7500, r = 6.3% =0.063, n = 6,

By substituting the value,

The semiannual payment would be,

$P=\frac{7500(\frac{0.063}{2})}{1-(1+\frac{0.063}{2})^{-6}}$

$\approx \$ 1391.37$

Also, total payment = semiannual payment × total semiannual periods

= 1391.37 × 6

= $ 8348.22,

Also, the interest paid = total payment - present value

= 8348.22 - 7500

= $ 848.22
