Alexander invested $240 in an account paying an interest rate of 2.3% compounded annually. Assuming no deposits or withdrawals are made, how much money, to the nearest dollar, would be in the account after 9 years?

295

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this we use the following equation

AV=PV(1+i)^n

Where AV=  accumulated value

PV= present value

i= interest rate

so we have

AV=240(1+.023)^9

This is pretty easy to solve and we get

240*1.227

294.50

Which rounds to 295

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
