What is the solution to the equation 1/4 x + 2 = - 5/8 x - 5?a. x= -8

b. x= -7

c. x= 7

d. x = 8

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

1/4 x + 2 = - 5/8 x - 5

1/4 x = - 5/8 x - 5 - 2

1/4 x + 5/8 x = -5 - 2

1/4 x + 5/8 x = -7

2/8 x + 5/8 x = -7

7/8 x = -7

7x = -7×8

7x = -56

x = -56/7

x = -8

The answer is A. x = -8

How much money will you have if you started with $1200 and put it in an account that earned 7.3% every year for 10 years?

Answers

So an exponential equation is gonna be used for this problem. The formula for such is y=ab^x , in which the a variable is the initial value and the b variable is the growth/decay rate.

For this situation, 1200 is gonna be your a variable since you've started out with it. And as for your b variable, its gonna be 107.3%, or 1.073, since it's increasing.

Your equation should look like this: y=1200(1.073)^x and from here just plug in 10 into the x variable and solve.

Multiply (1.073)^10 (don't round answers until the end), and take that answer and multiply it with 1200, your answer should be $2427.61.

y=1200(1.073)^(10) \n y=2427.61

A store has 255 wool ponchos to sell. There are 112 adult-sized ponchos that sell for $45 each. The rest are kid-sized and sell for $32 each. If the store sells all the ponchos, how much money will the store receive?

Answers

There are 112 adult-sized ponchos for $45 each and 143 kid sized-ponchos for $32 each

112 * 45 = 5,040 
143 * 32 = 4,576 
5,040 + 4,576 = 9,616
 
If the store sells all the ponchos it will receive $9,616
