Sherita, age 37, wants to pay no more than $750 a year in life insurance. If the annual life insurance premium rate (per $1000 of face value) is $3.96, what is the largest 15-year term policy she can buy without spending more than $750 annually?

yes the total will be same because in both of them the expression.is rearranged but their sign remains the same hence it hss just been shuffled

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
