17 Select the correct answer from the drop-down menu.
A whole number is 6 more than 2 times another number. The sum of the two numbers is less than 50. This can be written in an inequality as
x+2x+6 < 50, where x represents the smaller number.
From the set {13, 14, 15, 16, 17), the values of x for which the inequality holds true are

13 and 14

Step-by-step explanation:

From the inequality

x + 2 x + 6 < 50

we work out the answer for x isolating it on one side of the inequality as shown below

3 x + 6 < 50

3 x < 50 - 6

3 x < 44

x < 44/3  ≅ 14.6666...

Therefore, select from the set the numbers:  13 and 14.

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.
