There's a quotient; it is 7.
Your answer is A. You literally plug in the numbers for a and b to solve for the equation.
I'm going to assume the rate, 3.9%, is for one year.
7550 * 3.9 * 6 = $176, 670 is the simple interest earned in 6 years with a rate of 3.9% per year.
Since you have the formula, why don't you do it yourself?
Cross-multiply so that 8(3x + 1) = 14(2x)
Distribute the 8 and 14 into the parentheses:
24x + 8 = 28x
Subtract 24x from both sides:
8 = 4x
Divide both sides by 4:
x = 2
y= 2*x / x+3 that is my answer
