Jerry has invested $1500 into a savings account that paid him 8.25% interest, what will the balance of his account be after 6 years?
explain!

$2413.50

y=original amount of money(1+ the percent divided by 100)^the number of years is the power

we do this with the 1+ ... because the original amount plus the extra 8.25%

so the equation would be ...

y=1500(1+0.0825)^6

y=1500(1.60904218428)

y=1500(1.609) (I rounded)

y=$2413.50

answer: the answer is 127 degrees

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
