The quotient of a number divided by five is written as
the number decreased by 400 is written as
x - 400
Equate the two expressions
We have
Multiply through by 5
That's
x = 5x - 2000
x - 5x = - 2000
- 4x = - 2000
Divide both sides by - 4
x = 500

Answer:
Option d. the initial amount of money placed in the savings account
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
This is a exponential function of the form
where
a is the initial value
r is the growth rate
(1+r) is the base
x is the number of years
f(x) is the amount of money in a savings account
In this problem we have
a=$3,005
r=0.03=3%
(1+r)=1.03
therefore
3,005 represent the initial value ( the amount of money for the value of x equal to zero)
