Suppose that you invest $7000 in a risky investment. At the end of the first year, the investment has decreased by 70% of its original value. At the end of the second year,
the investment increases by 80% of the value it had at the end of the first year. Your
investment consultant tells you that there must have been a 10% overall increase of
the original $7000 investment. Is this an accurate statement? If not, what is your
actual percent gain or loss on the original $7000 investment. Round to the nearest
percent.

your answer is 23/2 - 13.5

step-by-step explanation:

7/2 evaluates to

multiply x and 4.5

multiply x and 1

the x just gets copied along.

the answer is x

x

4.5*x evaluates to 4.5x

multiply 3 and 4.5x

multiply 1 and x

the x just gets copied along.

x

4.5*x*3 evaluates to 13.5x

7/2-4.5*x*3 evaluates to

  + 8 =

the answer is

7/2-4.5*x*3+8 evaluates to

the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. if you take the three sides of a triangle and add them in pairs, the sum is greater than (not equal to) the third side. if that is not true, then it is not possible to construct a triangle with the given side lengths.
