Return rate, r = 3% = 0.03
x = initial investment
b = final balance
After 1 year, the balance i
b = initial investment + interest
b = x + r*x = (1 + r)*x
Because r = 0.03,
b = 1.03x (after 1 year)
Answer:
x³ - 9x² + 27x - 27
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume (V) of a cube is calculated as
V = s³ ( s is the measure of the side ) , thus
V = (x - 3)³
= (x - 3)(x - 3)(x - 3) ← expand the second/ third factors using FOIL
= (x - 3)(x² - 6x + 9) ← distribute
= x³ - 6x² + 9x - 3x² + 18x - 27 ← collect like terms
= x³ - 9x² + 27x - 27
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Division of fractions</u>
To calculate the division of fractions a/b and c/d, it's usually easier to multiply a/b by the reciprocal of the denominator, that is:

We will evaluate x/y when x=9/4 and y=3/5:


Simplifying:

Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean of a group of values is calculated as
mean = 
Given 5 numbers with a mean of 12, then
= 12 ( multiply both sides by 5 )
sum = 60
let the number removed be x , then
= 11 ( multiply both sides by 4 )
60 - x = 44 ( subtract 60 from both sides )
- x = - 16 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
x = 16
The number removed was 16
