Answer:

133.33 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Principal = $500

Interest rate (r) = 1.5% = 0.015

Triple amount of principal = $500 * 3 = $1500 = final amount (A)

Number of years (t) =?

Using the relation :

A = P(1 + rt)

1500 = 500(1 + 0.015t)

1500 / 500 = 1 + 0.015t

3 = 1 + 0.015t

3 - 1= 0.015t

2 = 0.015t

2 / 0.015 = 0.015t / 0.015

133.333 = t

original price * 60 % = 36.00

change percent to decimal

original price * .6 = 36

divide each side by .6

orginal price = 60

Use the zero product property to find the solutions to the equation (x + 2) (x + 3) = 12
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The solution of the equations are -6 and 1

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

- We want to find the solution of the equation (x + 2) (x + 3) = 12

- <em>At first lets use the Foil method to multiply the two brackets</em>

 (x + 2) (x + 3) = (x)(x) + (x)(3) + (2)(x) + (2)(3)

 (x + 2) (x + 3) = x² + 3x + 2x + 6 ⇒ add the like term

 (x + 2) (x + 3) = x² + 5x + 6

∵ (x + 2) (x + 3) = 12

∴ x² + 5x + 6 = 12

- Subtract 12 from both sides

∴ x² + 5x - 6 = 0

- <em>Factorize the left hand side</em>

∵ x² = (x)(x)

∵ -6 = 6 × -1

∵ 6x + -1x = 5x

∴ (x + 6)(x - 1) = 0

- <em>Lets use the zero product property </em>

∵ (x + 6)(x - 1) = 0

∴ x + 6 = 0 ⇒ <em>OR</em> ⇒ x - 1 = 0

∵ x + 6 = 0

- Subtract 6 from both sides

∴ x = -6

∵ x - 1 = 0

- Add 1 to both sides

∴ x = 1

∴ The solution of the equations are -6 and 1
