144 years ago, your great-great grandfather lost $80 playing poker in Laredo Texas. If he had not been tempted to get into the poker
game, but instead had deposited the $80 in a savings account
earning 3.5% compounded annually, how much would be in the
account now?

Compound interest formula:

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

A = Final amount

P = starting amount

r = interest rate

n = number of compounding per year

t = number of years

A = 80(1+ 0.035/1)^(1*44)

A = 80(1.035)^144

A = $11,337.06

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

4

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
