The answer would be A because you would just plug in 2 everywhere where you see x
-7 - 7( 8x - 7 ) = -19 + 5x
⇔ -56x + 49 = -12 + 5x
⇔ -61x = -61
⇔ x = 1
6 percent intrest per year for 5 years I think is the same as 30 percent for 5 years
so $15,000 x .3 is $4500
$15,000 + $4500 = $19,500
not 100 percent sure if this is correct but I think its right. Sorry if im wrong.
Substitute n with 5 and 6
(3x5)+5 = 20
(3x6)+5 = 23
