The first one is 17 13/15 the second one is 22 1/20
The initial value is how much he starts out with, and it says he has $32
So the initial value is B, $32
The slope intercept form of that equation would be y = 1/2x + 1. 1 would be the y-intercept, and 1/2 would be the slope. If you are looking for the answers to y and x, you would need another equation containing those variables to figure that out.
4y - y + 7y
4y - y = 3y
3y + 7y = 10y
10y is your answer
hope this helps
