Some institutions use 360 days a year (because then they charge more interest than 365 days).
Assuming the 360 days a year rule, the the daily rate is
6.5% for a year, or 270/360*6.5% for 270 days.
The future amount is then
4000*(1+0.065*270/360)
=$4195 (simple interest).
He should have added 1 to both sides to make the -1 on the right go to 0.
Then it would be 0 + m = -16 + 1 = -15
You can check your work by adding -1 and -15, which does in fact equal -16.
Hope this helped :)
Remark
She starts out with x
She spends 10 dollars paying back her brother (that's - 10)
She spends 30 dollars on fuel (that - 30)
She spends 1/2 what's left on a tent ( that's 1/2 (x - 10 - 30) )
She then spent 29.45 on running shoes. 1/2 (x - 10 - 30) + 29.45 is her expenditures.
After all that she has 17.75 left.
Equation
x - 10 - 30 - 1/2(x - 10 - 30) - 29.45 = 17.75
Solve
Begin by adding 29.95 to both sides.
x - 10 - 30 - 1/2(x - 10 - 30) = 17.75 + 29.45
x -10 - 30 - 1/2(x - 10 - 30) = 47.20 Add the like terms on the left.
x - 40 - 1/2(x - 40) = 47.20 Add 40 to both sides. Don't go inside the brackets.
x - 1/2x + 1/2 (40) = 87.20
1/2 x + 20 = 87.20 Subtract 20 from both sides.
1/2 x = 67.20 Multiply by 2
x = 134.40
