Answer:
a) 
b) It takes 5.390 years to pay off the loan.
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) The differential equation for the variation in the amount of the loan M is

We can express this equation as:

(b) We can calculate this as M(t)=0

It takes 5.390 years to pay off the loan.
<span>In geometry, definitions are formed using known words or terms to describe a new word. There are three words in geometry that are not formally defined. These three undefined terms are point, line and plane. Undefined terms have not been defined, and defined are answered. They are terms that have a relationship with the point od discussion. :)</span>
First, you factor and simplify (respectively) the numerator and denominator. Your equation becomes:

Notice, there is a (x + 7) on both the top and the bottom. Because of this, they cancel each other out. What is left is your answer:
