Find the annual interest rate.

The annual interest rate is 3.5%.

Solution:

Given Interest (I) = $26.25

Principal (P) = $500

Time (t) = 18 months

Rate of interest (r) = ?

Time must be in years to find the rate per annum.

1 year = 12 months

Divide the time by 12.

Time (t) = years

Now, find the rate of interest using simple interest formula.

Simple interest formula:

⇒ r = 3.5%

Hence the annual interest rate is 3.5%.

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.

1.3

step-by-step explanation:

3x2=6   9x+6

bring down the 6 on both sides

6+6=12

12= 9x

divide by 9

12/9 =

1.3 =x
