The equation for inflation is
A = P*(1+r)^t
which is an exponential growth equation (if r > 0). If r < 0, then we have deflation.

where...
A = final price after t years
P = initial starting price
r = rate of inflation in decimal form 
t = number of years

In this case, 
A = unknown (we're solving for this)
P = 280 is the starting price
r = 0.05 is the decimal form of 5%
t = 2 years

We will plug these three pieces of info into the formula to get...
A = P*(1+r)^t
A = 280*(1+0.05)^2
A = 280*(1.05)^2
A = 280*(1.1025)
A = 308.70

Answer: 308.70 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + y² − 8x + 10y − 8 = 0

Rearrange:

x² − 8x + y² + 10y = 8

To complete the square, take half of the x and y coefficients, square it, then add the result to both sides.

(-8/2)² = 16

(10/2)² = 25

x² − 8x + 16 + y² + 10y + 25 = 8 + 16 + 25

x² − 8x + 16 + y² + 10y + 25 = 49

Factor the squares:

(x − 4)² + (y + 5)² = 49

The center is (4, -5) and the radius is 7.
