Answer:

boys=48

Step-by-step explanation:

b+g=54

b=8g

b=54-g

b=8(54-b)

b=432-8b

b+8b=432

9b=432

divide by 9 gives as 48 boys

Use the Distributive Property to find the price of 9 CDs that cost $13.99 each.
Andreas93 [3]
To use the distributive property, we "distribute" a value on the outside of a set of parentheses to all of the values on the inside of the parentheses. For example...

6(3 + 9) = 6*3 + 6*9

For your problem, you only have one value 13.99, but we can split it apart to make it a little easier to work with (like with mental math).  We can say that 13.99 is the same as 10 + 3.99.  Now we can take it and multiply by 9 with the distributive property...

9(10 + 3.99) =
9*10 + 9*3.99 =
90 + 35.91 =

Help this is hard!!!!!!!
quester [9]
2(4-16) - (-30)
= 2(-12) -(-30)
= 24 - (-30) ....Error right here....a negative multiplies a positive = negative (= -24 + 30)
= 24 + 30
= 54

Correct:
2(4-16) - (-30)
= 2(-12) -(-30)
= -24 - (-30) 
= -24 + 30
= 6

If you open an account that compounds quarterly in 2020. In what year will it double the starting amount if it has an APR of 3.2
Lerok [7]

Answer:

It will double in the year 2063

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount deposited be $x, when it doubles, the amount becomes $2x

we can use the compound interest formula to know when this will happen

The compound interest formula is as follows;

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

In this question,

A is the amount which is 2 times the principal and this is $2x

P is called the principal and it is the amount deposited which is $x

r is the interest rate which is 3.2% = 3.2/100 = 0.032

n is the number of times compounding takes place per year which is quarterly which equals to 4

t is the number of years which we want to calculate.

Substituting all these into the equation, we have;

2x = x(1+0.032/4)^4t

divide through by x

2 = (1+ 0.008)^4t

2 = (1.008)^4t

we use logarithm here

Take log of both sides

log 2 = log (1.008)^2t

log 2 = 2t log 1.008

2t = log 2/log 1.008

2t = 86.98

t = 86.98/2

t =43.49 which is 43 years approximately

Thus the year the money will double will be 2020 + 43 years = 2063
