Answer:

D 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

2(x-4) = 20

Divide each side by 2

2/2(x-4) = 20/2

x-4 = 10

Add 4 to each side

x-4+4 = 10+4

x = 14

Answer:

The number is 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call this unknown number of x:

2×(x – 4) = 20

2x – 8 = 20

2x = 20 + 8

2x = 28

x = 28/2

x = 14

Bad White [126]

I = PRT....and we are looking for T....so lets re-arrange this...
I / PR = T
I = 4485
R = 11.5% = 0.115
P = 6500

now we sub and solve
I / PR = T
4485 / (6500 * 0.115) = T
4485 / 747.5 = T
6 = T <=== so ur answer is 6 years

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

$-t^5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you are multiplying the same thing by itself, it'll have an exponential value, so count the t's and that is your exponent. Don't forget the "-" sign.
