Brad wants to open a new savings account. he finds one that returns 3% on his investment each year.

question 1
assign a variable to each of the following pieces of information

final balance
initial investment
return rate

Step-by-step explanation:

Return rate, r = 3% = 0.03

x = initial investment

b = final balance

After 1 year, the balance i

b = initial investment + interest

b = x + r*x = (1 + r)*x

Because r = 0.03,

b = 1.03x   (after 1 year)

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
