What are the rules to solving equations by multiplying or dividing?

In order to move a number that is multiplied or divided by the variable, make sure to inverse both sides! That means, if the number is multiplied, you divide it by both sides. If it's divided, you must multiply it by both side; steps so that you can apply them to harder equations.

Sorry if this didn't help! I hope it did though, good luck. <3

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.
