Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
1. get rid of parentheses: 12x -6 = 10x +6
2. group like terns together: 12x-10x = 6+6
3. simplify: 2x = 12
4. divide both sides by 2: x=6
Answer:
46
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
represent a number with
in the ten's position and
is the one's position.
This means
actually has value of
.
We are given the sum of those digits of
is 10; this means
.
It says if 18 is added to the number
, then the result is
.
So
has value
and
has value
.
We are given then:


Subtract
on both sides:

Simplify:

Subtract
on both sides:


Divide both sides by 9:

Rearrange by commutative property:

So the system of equations we want to solve is:


-------------------------Add equations together (this will eliminate the variable
and allow you to go ahead and solve for
:


Divide both sides by 2:

Simplify:

If
and
, then
.
since 4+6=10.
So the original number is (46).
18 more than 46 is 18+46=(64) which is what we wanted.
We also have the sum of 4 and 6 is 10 as well.
the more years the money stays invested, the more interest it earns, so clearly, if the compounding cycle is the same for both options, and the rate of 7% is the same as well for both, then the one with more years will give more interest..
so depends on what "best" means in this context, but if it's more interest earned, 3 years gives more interest than 2 years of course.
Need to take 25 mg times 18% then times it by 4 then times it again by .01
