- Converting expressions to word form
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
2x - 4 < 4x + 8
<u>Step 2: Translate</u>
"2x" is the product of two and a number <em>x</em>
" - 4" is four less
"<" is less than
"4x" is the product of four and a number <em>x</em>
" + 8" is increased by 8
<u>Step 3: Combine</u>
The difference between the product of two and a number <em>x</em> and 4 is less than the sum of the product of four and a number <em>x</em> and 8.
<u>Step 4: Reword</u>
Four less than the product of two and a number is less than the product of four and the same number increased by eight.
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer: 
a) 
b) The balance after 8 years will be of $29,069.
Step-by-step explanation:
Compound interest:
The compound interest formula is given by:

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.
a)
Loan of $17,500 means that 
6.4% interest rate means that 
Compounded monthly means that  . So
. So



b)
This is A(8). Then

The balance after 8 years will be of $29,069.
