The formula for the amount with simple interest is A = P(1 + rt). Find t if A = 168, P = 150, and r = 0.08. ...?

This is just a simple question. First, substitute the equations by the given corresponding values.
168 = 150(1 + 0.08t)

Then simplify the equation by multiplying the 150 inside the parenthesis
168 = 150 + 12t

Then You must transpose the 150 to the left side and it will look like this,
168 - 150 = 12t

Then simplify it again.
18 = 12t

Then divide both sides by 12 to eliminate the 12 on the 12t.
<u>18</u> = <u>12t</u>
12 12

The answer would be 1.5 = t

Wawa pays $100 for 5 hours work. 7-11 pays $200 for 9 hours work. Which job should u take?

Obviously 7-11 is you’re looking for more profit over free time. Simple math here, 5x2=10 meaning you’d get the same amount of pay while working one extra hour at Wawa’s. That hour extra may not seem like much but it adds up over time.

Solve for x. Write the smaller solution first, and the larger solution second. (x-10)^2-1=0

ikadub [295]

Answer:

$x_1 = 9$ and $x_2 = 11$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by adding 1 to both sides of this equation.

$(x - 10)^{2} = 1$ .

The square of what number or numbers will lead to the number "1"? It turns out that not only $1^{2} = 1$ , but $(-1)^{2}= 1$ as well. In other words, the value $(x - 10)$ can be either 1 or -1. Either way, the equation is still going to hold. That's the reason why there are two solutions to this equation.
