Finding interest:
550 / 100 = 5.5 5.5 x 3.25 = 17.875 17.875 x 3 = 53.625 or 53.63
So the answer is C.
Hope this helped!
The given expression is

We see from the possible answers they are all in reduced form - variables are grouped together. That means we should also reduce the given expression to see which answer is equivalent to it.

Let's expand the term inside the parentheses first, by multiplying each term inside by the coefficient of the parentheses, -3.

Now let's group terms which have the same variables.

We can see that there are two groups:


Let's evaluate them separately. We just need to reduce each group now, since we've already grouped similar terms.


If we put the groups back together into the expression,

We can see that

. So (D) is the answer. Hope this helped.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is incomplete; here is the complete question.
A weather station on the top of a mountain reports that the temperature is currently 0°C and has been falling at a constant rate of 3°C per hour. Find each temperature. Explain or show your reasoning.
If it continues to fall at this rate, what will the temperature be:
In 2 hours ............. In 5 hours .............. In half an hour......................
If the current temperature of the mountain is b°C and it is falling at a constant rate of 3°C per hour.
Then after 'x' hours, temperature on the top of the mountain will be represented by the function,
T(x) = 0 - 3x
Therefore, temperature after 2 hours = -3(2) = -6°C
Temperature after 5 hours = -3(5) = -15°C
Temperature after half an hour = 
= -1.5°C
Answer:
y - 8= 3(x+8) in slope intercept form is y = 3x + 32
