Answer:

7 & -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you want the value of x...

Since the equation is wrapped in an absolute value, we must get x for both the positive and negative value.

<u>Positive x</u>

3x-9=12\\3x=21\\x=7

<u>Negative x</u>

3x-9=-12\\3x=-3\\x=-1\\

Both of these will equal 12 when tested.

|3(-1)-9|=12\\|-3-9|=12\\|-12|=12\\12=12\\

|3(7)-9|=12\\|21-9|=12\\12=12\\

The sum of $3,000 is deposited into an account paying 10% annually. If $1,206 is withdrawn at the end of years 1 and 2, how much
Yakvenalex [24]
What we have so far: 
INITIAL CASH AMOUNT IN THE BANK: USD3,000
ANNUAL INCREASE OF THE CASH AMOUNT IN THE BANK: 10%
YEARS THE CASH STAYED IN THE BANK: 2 years.
AMOUNT WITHDRAWN AT THE END OF YEAR 1: USD1,206
AMOUNT WITHDRAWN AT THE END OF YEAR 2: USD1,206

First, we need to solve for YEAR 1:
FOR YEAR 1: 
Initial Deposit * Annual Increase Rate = Annual Increase
3,000 * 0.10 = Year 1's Annual Increase
Year 1's  Annual Increase = USD300
∴The YEAR 1'S ANNUAL INCREASE IS USD300.
∴The NEW AMOUNT is now USD3,300.

BUT NOT SO FAST! After the year, you took out USD1,206.
New Amount - USD1,206 = Year 1 Amount
3,300 - 1,206 = Year 1 Amount
Year 1 Amount = USD2094
∴The YEAR 1 AMOUNT which will carry over to YEAR 2 is USD2094.

Now, let us solve for the REMAINING BALANCE.
FOR YEAR 2's Annual Increase: 
YEAR 1 AMOUNT * Annual Increase = Year 2's Annual Increase
2094*0.10 = Year 2's Annual Increase
Year 2's Annual Increase = USD209.4
∴The YEAR 1'S ANNUAL INCREASE IS USD209.4.
∴The NEW AMOUNT is now USD2,303.4.

But you took out USD1,206
USD2,303.4 - USD1,206 = Remaining Balance
Remaining Balance = USD1097.4

∴The Answer is: USD1097.4

How are the values of the eights related in 880?
tatuchka [14]
In the number 880, the first eight is ten times that of the second eight. This is the first way in which the 8’s are related to one another. The second way that the two 8’s are related is that is that if the both 8’s change their respective places, then also the number will remain the same. Since in this case the number in the tens place and the hundreds place are same, so interchanging them will not have any effect on the overall number.

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

2.75

step-by-step explanation:

5 and 3/8 inches = 5 + 3/8 =  5 + 0.625 = 5.625

2 and 7/8 inches =  2 + 7/8 = 2 + 0.875 = 2.875

the inches that snow melted: 5.625 - 2.875 = 2.750

Each side of a square is increasing at a rate of 6cm/s. At what rate is the area of the square increasing when the area of the s
diamong [38]
Area of a square = length²
A = x²
16 = x²; x = 4
dA/dx = 2x cm²/s
dx/dt = 6 cm/s
Using chain rule:
dA/dt = dA/dx * dx/dt
dA/dt = 2x * 6
dA/dt = 12x
At x = 4,
dA/dt = 12(4) = 48 cm²/s
