Last year, gilbert contributed $75 toward his 401(k) account each month. if his employer matched 16% of his contributions, what was the total amount contributed to the 401(k) at the end of the year?

$75 to his 401k each month75(12) = 900 in a yr.
his employee matched 16% of his contributions..
16% of 900 =
0.16(900) = 144

so the total amount contributed was : 900 + 144 = $ 1044

$1044 was contributed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Last year, Gilbert contributed toward his 401(k) account each month = $75.00

Contribution in a year = $75.00 × 12 = $900.00

His employer matched 16% of his contribution

Employer's contribution = 16% of $900.00

× 900

= 0.16 × 900 = $144.00

Total contribution = $900 + $144 = $1044

The total amount $1044 was contributed to the 401(k) at the end of the year.

It has a solution, but it isn't a positive number, it's a negative one (which you probably didn't get to jet at school, so teacher said it hasn't got a solution)

8X + 19 = 11

move every normal number without X to one side (remember, when moving number across​ sides, change its sign)

8X = 11 - 19

now

8X = -8

and you get X that is a negative

X = -8/8

X = -1
