Answer 7.5 i think
Step-by-step explanation:
Money with Nathan in his savings account = $40
Rate of interest per annum = 5%
We know that :

In this case :
Principal = $40
Rate = 5%
Time = 1 year
Simple interest he will earn in 1 year :



Amount = Principal + Interest
Amount Nathan has to pay at the end of one year :


Thus, at the end of 1 year Nathan has to pay $42.
Therefore, simple interest Nathan will earn in 1 year = $2
Solving for y, we can start by expanding to get y-3=5x-20. Next, we can add 3 to both sides (to separate y), resulting in y=5x-17. To find the slope in the equation y=mx+b, you simply find what you multiply x by, which is 5 in this case. To find a perpendicular slope, you start by making the slope (5 in this case) negative. Next, we find the reciprocal of the number. Since -5 can be written as -5/1, the reciprocal and therefore perpendicular slope is -1/5
To solve for <em>x</em>, we must first isolate the term containing <em>x</em> which in this problem is 5x.
Since 10 is being added to 5x, we subtract 10 from both sides of the equation to isolate the 5x.
On the left, the +10 and -10 cancel out and on the right, 20 - 10 is 10 and we have 5x = 10.
Now we can finish things off by just dividing both sides of the equation by 5. On the left the 5's cancel and on the right, 10 divided by 5 is 2 so <em>x = 2</em>.
I think it’s -6 but I would check with someone else too lol
