Answer:

x =5

step-by-step explanation:

combine the like terms:

2 -7x -3x = -8x -8

= 2 -10x = -8x -8

= -10x +2 = -8x -8

= -10x +2 -2 = -8x -8 -2

= -10x = -8x -10

= -10x +8x = -8x -10 +8x

= -2x = -10

= -2x/-2 = -10/-2

simplify

x = 5

Michelle deposited $1,385 into a savings account with a simple interest rate of 2.89% per year. If Michelle does not touch the f

aniked [119]

Answer:

$1,665.19

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest=PRT/100 where P is the principal amount deposited by Michelle, R is the rate offered per year in terms of percentage, T is the period in years

Substituting P for $1385, T for 7 years, R for 2.89% we obtain interest as follows

Interest=$1,385*2.89*7 years/100=$280.1855

Balance after 7 years will be the sum of principal amount and interest gained

Balance=$1,385+$280.1855 =$1,665.1855

Rounding off to 2 decimal places

Balance=$1665.19

Therefore, Michelle's balance is $1,665.19

Can someone please help me with 5 and 6(Best answer = Brainliest)

Alex_Xolod [135]

5.
First plug the value of x into the equation
$2(-2y-12)+y=9$
then solve for y
$2(-2y)+2(-12)+y=9 \\ -4y+(-24)+y=9 \\ -4y-24+y=9 \\ -3y-24=9 \\ -3y=33 \\ \frac{-3y}{-3}= \frac{33}{-3} \\ y = -11$

6. Do the same steps
$5(-y-1)+y=-13 \\ 5(-y)+5(-1)+y=13 \\ -5y+(-5)+y=13 \\ -5y-5+y=13 \\ -4y-5=13 \\ -4y=18 \\ \frac{-4y}{-4}= \frac{18}{-4} \\ y=-4.5$
