Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Goal: "solve for x" in 3 - 2x = -1.5x.

First: Add 2x to both sides to isolate x:

3 = 0.5x

Next, divide both sides by 0.5, again to isolate x:

3/0.5 = x, or x = 6

You invest in $5,000 in an account earning simple interests. The balance after 6 years is $6,200. What is the interests rate?

shtirl [24]

Answer:

The interest rate is 4% per annum.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the interest rate that I am getting is r% per annum.

So, my $5000 investment becomes $6200 after getting r% simple interest for 6 years.

So, from formula of simple interest we can write

$6200 = 5000(1 +\frac{rt}{100})$

⇒ $1.24 = 1 + \frac{6r}{100}$

⇒ $\frac{6r}{100} = 0.24$

⇒ r = 4%

Therefore, the interest rate is 4% per annum. (Answer)
