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

1 answer:

4 0

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.
18 = 12t
12 12

The answer would be 1.5 = t

Which graph matches the equation y+3=2(x+3)?

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

The graph that includes points (-3,-3) and (0,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the pictures attached, the options are shown.

The equation:

y+3=2(x+3)

has the point-slope form, which is:

y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

where (x₁, y₁) is a point on the line and m is its slope. This means that (-3,-3) is on the line. To know the y-intercept of the line, we have to replace x = 0 into the equation, as follows:

y+3=2(0+3)

y+3 = 6

y = 6 - 3

y = 3

Then, point (0, 3) is on the line.
