Jared has a wooden board that is 11 ft long. he wants to cut it into two pieces so that the longer piece is 4 ft less than 4 times the length of the shorter piece. how long will each piece of board be?

x=one piece of wood

4x-4= the second piece of wood

X+(4x-4)=11 the two added together will equal 11

5x-4=11 combine terms and solve. add 4 to both sides

5x=15 divide both sides by 5

x=3

one piece is 3 feet and the other is 4x3-4=8 feet

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.

20
