Hey there!
First, we will do the subtraction with the two like terms on the left. I know they're like terms because although they have different coefficients, they have the same variable.
We have:
2n=4
Divide both sides by 3 to get:
n = 2
Hope this helps!
Decimals are a number and a dot and more numbers
The value of the year at the end of 2025 will be given by:
A=P(1+r/100)^n
where:
A=future value
P=principle
r=rate
n=number of terms
hence for the data given;
p=35000
R=5.5
n=(2025-2017)*2=16
Thus
A=35000(1+5.5/100)^16
A=$82, 434. 20
25% is a fourth of something so first round $34.99 to about $35 and just get one fouth of it which would be a little less than $9 but if you put it into the calculator it will tell you that it is about $8.75 (to calculate using the calculator you need to chane the percentage to a decimal and multiply it)
