What is the value of x in the equation 1.5(x+4)-3=4.5(x-2

(1.5×x)+(1.5×4)-3=(4.5×x)+(4.5×(-2 1.5x+6-3=4.5x-9 1.5x+3=4.5x-9 -3x=-9-3 -3x=-12 X=4

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.
