Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

>>Do I subtract or add the coefficients with variables together?

Add the terms with variables. In this case, the terms with variables are 3x and 6x. The communicative property of addition still holds true, so 3x+6x and 6x+3x are the same.

Do NOT subtract terms. If you do, let's take the 3x and 6x from the example above, doing either 3x-6x or 6x-3x would lead to the wrong answer.

Note: if you encounter a situation where if you have let's say, the terms -3x and 17x, -3x+17 and 17x + -3x are exactly the same (commutative property of addition still holds true). DO NOT do 17x - -3x or -3x-17x! Those would lead to the wrong answer.

Now,

We are given the following equation:

3x-15+6x+2=41

And we want to solve it for x

As stated above, we ADD the terms with coefficients together. So 3x+6x=9x.

The same is true for the numbers without variables; -15+2=-13

On the left, we have:

9x-13=41

Add 13 to both sides to remove it from the left side

9x=54

Divide both sides by 9 to isolate x

x=6

Hope this helps!

Rich deposited money into a bank account that earned 2.5% simple interest each year. After 2 years, he had earned $14.65 in inte
photoshop1234 [79]

we know that


The simple interest formula is equal to


I=Prt


where


P is the Principal amount of money to be invested


I is the amount of money in interest

r is the rate of interest  

t is Number of Time Periods


in this problem we have


t=2\ years\\ I=\$14.65\\r=0.025


substitute in the formula above  and solve for P

14.65=P(0.025)(2)

P=14.65/[(0.025)(2)]

P=\$293


therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

\$293
