Answer:
t= -3.7
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 5( t+3)= -3.5
2. 5t+15= -3.5

Answer: a) 8.779 years
b) 8.664 years
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
a)

- A: accumulated amount (balance)
- P: principal amount (original/initial investment)
- r: interest rate (convert to a decimal)
- n: number of times compounded per year
- t: number of years
Given: A = 1800, P = 900, r = 8% = 0.08, n = 3, t = unknown

b)


Well just looking at the points itself, the point (0,2) is the y intercept.. and the only answer choice you have with 2 as the y intercept is C.
-11.8 + 33.4y
First turn y into 1
-11.8 + 33.4 (1)
Multiply 1 by 33.4
-11.8 + 33.4
Then add
21.6
Hope this helps!!
