First you must distribute the 2x to the numbers inside the parentheses
(2x * x) + (2x * -1) = 3
- 2x = 3
To make this a quadratic equation you can solve bring the 3 over to the left side of the equation by subtracting it to both sides
- 2x - 3 = 0
Use the quadratic equation to solve this (image of the quadratic equation is below)
Remember that quadratic functions are set up like so:

That means that in this equation...
a = 2
b = -2
c = -3
^^^Plug these numbers into the quadratic equation and solve...





Keep in mind that +/- is ±

If you would like to know how many hours will Lena need to work before she can afford to buy the computer, you can calculate this using the following steps:
$900 - $473 = $427
$427 / $7 = 61 hours of yard work
Result: Lena will need to work 61 hours before she can afford to buy the computer.
In order for this to be a model of exponential growth, the b term must be greater than 1.
If the b term is between 0 and 1, then it becomes a model for exponential decay as the number will continue to get smaller and smaller for every value of x. Greater than one will continue to grow and therefore be an exponential growth model.
Answer:
$6.00
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the formula for simple interest: Interest = Principle x Rate x Time
so I = $60.00 x .1 x 1 = $6.00
