If you simply it down you get

so X can technically be any number
-9-8(1+4h) = -17. We need to solve for h.
First, use the distributive property for 8(1+4h):
8(1+4h) = 8*1 + 8*4h = 8 + 32h
So -9-8(1+4h) = -17
-9 - (8+32h) = -17
-9 - 8 - 32h = -17
-17 - 32h = - 17
Add 17 on both sides to have the variables on a side and the numbers on the other:
-17 - 32h + 17 = -17 + 17
-32h = 0
divide both sides by -32 to get the variable h alone and its value on the other side:
(-32h)/-32 = 0/-32
h = 0.
So -9-8(1+4h) = -17 for h = 0.
You can recheck your answer (very important):
-9 - 8(1+4h) = -9 -8(1+4*0) = -9 - 8(1+0) = -9-8*1 = -9-8 = -17

Answer:
24 Square Inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1) after 4 weeks, Lin has more with $65
2) after 3 weeks they both have same amount
Step-by-step explanation:
let 'w' = number of weeks
1) <u>equation for Han</u>: y = 100 - 15w
y = 100 - 15(4)
y = 100 - 60
y = $40 after 4 weeks
<u>equation for Linn</u>: y = 25 + 10w
y = 25 + 10(4)
y = 25 + 40
y = $65 after 4 weeks
2) 100 - 15w = 25 + 10w
75 - 15w = 10w
75 = 25w
w = 3 weeks
