Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2(x + 5) = 3x + 1 ← distribute left side
2x + 10 = 3x + 1 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
10 = x + 1 ( subtract 1 from both sides )
9 = x
Simple interest = $769
Principal = $6000
Rate = ?
Time = 10 months (must convert to years if in months) = 10/12 = 0.833
Formula
I = prt
Substitute
769 = 6000 × r × 0.833
769 = 4998r
Divide both sides by 4998
769/4998 = 4998r/4998
0.15386 = r
(to the nearest tenth of a percent) = 0.15
Therefore, your rate is 0.15%.
90. Add the zero in front of the 9.
