Question

can someone walk me thru the steps to solve this problem 100,000=x/(1+.07)^20

Answer 1

calculator

Answer 2

?

Answer 3

Okay so,
100,000 can be written as 100 x 10^3 in scientific notation.
So then,
100x10^3 = x/(1.07)^20
By calculation, (1.07)^20 gives you some value such as 3.869
So,
100,000 x 3.869 = x
386968.44=x
Final answer. :)
