the answers are -12x^2 and 4x^2y. hopefully it helps and i just got it right.
The amount paid to the man in the first year given the total he received in four years is $3,700.
<h3>Equation</h3>
- Amount paid in the first year = x
- Amount paid in the second year = (x + 500)
- Amount paid in the third year = x + 500 + 500
= (x + 1000)
- Amount paid in the fourth year = x + 500 + 500 + 500
= (x + 1500)
Total payment = first year + second year + third year + fourth year
x + (x + 500) + (x + 1000) + (x + 1500) = 17,800
x + x + 500 + x + 1000 + x + 1500 = 17800
4x + 3000 = 17,800
4x = 17,800 - 3000
4x = 14,800
x = 14,800/4
x = $3,700
Therefore, $3,700 was paid to the man in the first year.
