the company recognize the accued interest expense for 2 complete months (Nov 1st to Dec 31th)

16,000,000 x .12 x 2/12 = 240,000

x=3

step-by-step explanation:

this is really simple i saw that there was only one term (5x) and thought if that was 15 what would i have to multiply everything else to get it there? well if 5x became 15 then x would have to be 3 so plug the 3 in the x for the other equations and you get 15 for the other ones. so there you go. : )

it is d i just took the test
