Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So first we need to plug in 5 as the variable a and -7 as the variable b

4(5)-(-7)

Next we multiply the 4 and the 5 together to get 20

4(5) = 20 or 4 x 5 = 20

20-(-7)

Now we subtract negative 7 from 20

20-(-7) = 27

This can also be written as 20 plus 7 as a mathematical rule states: two negatives make a positive. So:

20-(-7) = 20 + 7

Both of these are equivalent in every sense of the word and give us our final answer of 27

Julie's savings account has a balance of $57.85 in January. By March, her balance is 4 times as much as her January balance. Bet

January . . . $57.85

March . . . . 4 times as much = 4 (57.85) = $231.40

Deposit 78.45 more . . . ($231.40 + 78.45) = $309.85 .

Notice that "interest" is never mentioned anywhere in this problem.
In other words, it doesn't matter whether Julie's savings account is
in a bucket in the basement, a mayonnaise jar on the porch, under
her mattress, or in a bank that pays no interest.

Without interest, $309.85 is what she does have in November, which
is about right for savings accounts in banks these days.

What her balance should be in November is an entirely different subject.
