Answer:

if you mean 12-5=12 this answer is x=144

here is the step by step explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

x/12-5-(7)=0

Step by step solution :

STEP

1

:

x

Simplify ——

12

Equation at the end of step

1

:

x

(—— - 5) - 7 = 0

12

STEP

2

:

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 12 as the denominator :

5 5 • 12

5 = — = ——————

1 12

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

x - (5 • 12) x - 60

———————————— = ——————

12 12

Equation at the end of step

2

:

(x - 60)

———————— - 7 = 0

12

STEP

3

:

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

3.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 12 as the denominator :

7 7 • 12

7 = — = ——————

1 12

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

3.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

(x-60) - (7 • 12) x - 144

————————————————— = ———————

12 12

Equation at the end of step

3

:

x - 144

——————— = 0

12

STEP

4

:

When a fraction equals zero :

4.1 When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

x-144

————— • 12 = 0 • 12

12

Now, on the left hand side, the 12 cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

x-144 = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

4.2 Solve : x-144 = 0

Add 144 to both sides of the equation :

x = 144

One solution was found :

x = 144

6) Alberto invests $8,534 in a retirement
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

  17 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest formula is ...

  A = P(1 +r/n)^(nt)

where P is the principal invested at annual rate r, compounded n times per year for t years.

Filling in the numbers and solving for t, we find ...

  16826.03 = 8534(1 +.04/12)^(12t)

  16826.03/8534 = 1.0033333...^(12t)

Taking logs, we have ...

  log(16826.03/8534) = 12t·log(1.0333333...)

Dividing by the coefficient of t gives ...

  log(16826.03/8534)/(12·log(301/300)) = t ≈ 17.000

It will take 17 years for the account balance to reach $16,826.03.
