DID YOU KNOW, in 1626, Peter Du Minuit traded beads and blanket (valued at $24) to the Native American inhabitants of Manhattan Island for the island. a) What would the investment be worth in 2016 if at that time the $24 had been invested at 6% simple interest?

$585.60

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of years that would have passed is;

= 2016 - 1626

= 390 years

Using simple interest, the investment will be worth;

= Principal * ( 1 + rate * number of years)

= 24 * (1 + 0.06* 390)

= $585.60

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
