-2(p - 1) = 15

-2p + 2 = 15

Subtract 2 on both sides.

-2p = 13

Divide by -2 on both sides.

p = -6.5

Answer:

p = -6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(p-1) = 15

p-1 = -7.5

p = -6.5

Yes, because 1/4 plus 1/4 equals 2/4 (or 1/2) and 3/4-2/4 equals 1/4.

If a bank has total deposits of $7,200 and reserves of $1,600: instructions: round to the nearest whole number. (a) what is its

Serjik [45]

A.) The current reserve ratio is given by the fraction of the bank's total deposits held in reserves.
Given that the bank's total deposits is $7,200 and the reserves is $1,600, the current reserve ratio is given by:

$\frac{1,600}{7,200} \times100\%=22\%.$

b.) The loan portfolio is given by (total deposit - reserves) / total deposits

Thus, the loan portfolio of the given bank is given by:

$\frac{7,200-1,600}{7,200} \times100\%= \frac{5,600}{7,200} \times100\% \\ \\ =78\%$

There are 15 clowns in a circus. Each clown has to act either happy or sad. Twelve of the clowns have red noses. Each of the sev

Neko [114]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Each of the seven happy clowns has a red nose.</em>

This means there are (15-7) 8 sad clowns.

<em>Five of the sad clowns have red noses. </em>

This means out of 8 sad clowns, 5 have red noses. So the clowns that have to act sad and have red noses are (8-5) 3.

Answer:

$x=\frac{12}{7} \\y=\frac{12}{5} \\z=-12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's re-write the equations in order to get the variables as separated in independent terms as possible \:

First equation:

$\frac{xy}{x+y} =1\\xy=x+y\\1=\frac{x+y}{xy} \\1=\frac{1}{y} +\frac{1}{x}$

Second equation:

$\frac{xz}{x+z} =2\\xz=2\,(x+z)\\\frac{1}{2} =\frac{x+z}{xz} \\\frac{1}{2} =\frac{1}{z} +\frac{1}{x}$

Third equation:

$\frac{yz}{y+z} =3\\yz=3\,(y+z)\\\frac{1}{3} =\frac{y+z}{yz} \\\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{z} +\frac{1}{y}$

Now let's subtract term by term the reduced equation 3 from the reduced equation 1 in order to eliminate the term that contains "y":

$1=\frac{1}{y} +\frac{1}{x} \\-\\\frac{1}{3} =\frac{1}{z} +\frac{1}{y}\\\frac{2}{3} =\frac{1}{x} -\frac{1}{z}$

Combine this last expression term by term with the reduced equation 2, and solve for "x" :

$\frac{2}{3} =\frac{1}{x} -\frac{1}{z} \\+\\\frac{1}{2} =\frac{1}{z} +\frac{1}{x} \\ \\\frac{7}{6} =\frac{2}{x}\\ \\x=\frac{12}{7}$

Now we use this value for "x" back in equation 1 to solve for "y":

$1=\frac{1}{y} +\frac{1}{x} \\1=\frac{1}{y} +\frac{7}{12}\\1-\frac{7}{12}=\frac{1}{y} \\ \\\frac{1}{y} =\frac{5}{12} \\y=\frac{12}{5}$

And finally we solve for the third unknown "z":

$\frac{1}{2} =\frac{1}{z} +\frac{1}{x} \\\\\frac{1}{2} =\frac{1}{z} +\frac{7}{12} \\\\\frac{1}{z} =\frac{1}{2}-\frac{7}{12} \\\\\frac{1}{z} =-\frac{1}{12}\\z=-12$
