4, there is not solution for x

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-2) – 3(x+4)+22

first step; distributive property

3x+(-6)+(-3x)+(-12)+22

second add the common things together;

4, 3x and -3x cancel eachother out.

3(x-2) – 3(x+4)+22

Multiply the first bracket by 3

(3)(x)=3x

(3)(-2)=-6

Multiply the second bracket by -3

(-3)(x)=-3x

(-3)(4)=-12

3x-6-3x-12+22

3x-3x-6+22 ( combine like terms)

0+16

x = 16

one fourth of 9% = 2.25%

gavin is correct in saying : the equivalent quarterly interest rate would be

2.25%.
