A subtraction problem can be turned in to an addition problem because of negative numbers. Take 5-2=3 for example. If you change 5-2 into an addition problem then you would but he addition sign and a negative sign on 2. This will then leave you with the problem looking like 5+ -2. If you add 5 and -2 you will still get three.

zlopas [31]

Answer: Option 'd' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of hours of pop music = 3

Number of hours of classical music = 2

According to question, Every month onwards, the hours of pop music in her collection is 5% more than what she had the previous month. Her classical music does not change.

Rate of increment = 5% = 0.05

Let the number of months be 'x'.

So, our required function becomes,

$f(x)=3(1+0.05)x+2\\\\f(x)=3(1.05)x+2$
