Combine like terms. Is there a picture for this?
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form
or 
In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin
Let
m ----> the distance in miles (y-coordinate)
h ----> the time in hours (x-coordinate)
In this problem the constant of proportionality k is given and is equal to
----> the speed
substitute

Answer:
Increasing
−5<x<−1
−1<x<1
Decreasing
4<x<7
−8<x<−5
Neither Increasing nor Decreasing
1<x<4
Step-by-step explanation:
Selection D is the equivalent form of the given expression.
_____
The nominal annual interest rate in this problem is 40%. If it were compounded half-yearly, the formula would be x(1.2)^(2t) or x(1.44)^t. Apparently, this problem is more concerned with the equivalent form of the expression than it is with half-yearly compounding.
