Y + 1 = -3(x - 5)
y + 1 = -3x + 15
y = -3x + 15 - 1
y = -3x + 14 <== or f(x) = -3x + 14

Answer:
 <em>(n - 5)(n + 5) </em>
Step-by-step explanation:
a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b) 
n² - 25 = n² - 5² = <em>(n - 5)(n + 5)</em> 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
- $17,500 at 8%
- $17,500 at 14%
Step-by-step explanation:
The fraction that needs to be invested at the higher rate is ...
   (11% - 8%)/(14% -8%) = 3%/6% = 1/2
Half the money should be invested at each of the rates:
   $17,500 for 8% return
   $17,500 for 14% return.
_____
If you let x represent the amount at the higher rate, then the total return is ...
   14%x + 8%(35000 -x) = 11%(35000)
   (14% -8%)x = (11% -8%)(35000) . . . . subtract 8%·35000
   x = (11% -8%)/(14% -8%)×35000 . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
Note that this formula is exactly the one we started with, above.
