To solve 493x = 3432x+1, write each side of the equation in terms of base

Answer

= 3.405 × 10⁻⁴

Explanation

If the question is correctly written, then it is very easy.

First, take the like terms on one side.

493x = 3432x+1

493x - 3432x = 1

-2939x = 1

Dividing both sides by -2939 to get the value of x.

x = 1/(-2939)

= - 0.0003405

= 3.405 × 10⁻⁴

soo this can be solve by using the formula:

f = p( 1 + i)^ n

where f is the future profit

p is the initial profit

i is the percent increase

n is the number of years

a . f = 30000 ( 1.05)^n

b. f = 30000 ( 1.05)^15

f = $62,368
