You have to combine like terms.
Answer: -2a+7
Answer: Divide each side by '10'. x2 = 9 Simplifying x2 = 9 Take the square root of each side: x = {-3, 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution:
Principal =P= $ 7,500
Option A→(Simple interest)
Rate of interest= R=4%
Time(
)=4 years
Time(
)=6 years
Amount= Principal + Interest(Simple or compound interest)
Formula for Simple interest
Total amount after 4 years when interest is simple= 7500 +1200= $ 8700
Total amount after 6 years when interest is simple= 7500 +1800= $ 9300
Option B
Formula for amount(A) when interest is 3.15% compounded annually.
Total amount after 4 years when interest is compounded annually=$ 8491 (approx)
Total amount after 6 years when interest is compounded annually=$ 9034(approx)
So, you have 3/4x + 5/8 = 4x. We can do this in two ways. Since fractions are harder to deal with, we can turn the fractions into whole numbers.
First we need to find the LCD (Least Common Denominator) between 4 and 8, which is 8. So multiply the 3/4x by 2/2, which gives you an equivalent fraction of 6/8x.
So now we have 6/8x + 5/8 = 4x. Now multiply both sides by 8, to get rid of the denominators of the fractions. That gives us 6x + 5 = 32x. Now use the subtraction property of equality to subtract 6x from both sides giving us 5 = 26x.
Now you can use the division property of equality to divide 26 on both sides, which gives us x = 5/26.
Hope this helps. :D Feel free to ask any other questions, and if you have any questions about my explanation, don't hesitate to ask.
