Answer:

$-\frac{5}{4} =x$

Step-by-step explanation:

We first need to bring x up into the numerator. I will find common denominators by multiplying both sides by each denominator.

$\frac{x(3x+5)}{1} *\frac{3}{x} =\frac{-3}{3x+5}*\frac{x(3x+5)}{1}$

This will eliminate both denominators and leave me with

$(3x+5)3=-3(x)\\9x+15=-3x$ after I simplify the parenthesis.

Now I will solve the equation for x by subtracting 9x from both sides.

$9x-9x+15=-3x-9x\\15=-12x$

Then divide by the coefficient of x.

$\frac{15}{-12}=\frac{-12x}{-12}$

$-\frac{5}{4} =x$

Twice a year, for 4 years is 8 times

516×8 = 4128

Yearly for 4 years is 4 times

700×4 = 2800

Every month for 4 years is 48 times

100×48 = 4800

Minimum expenditure:

4128 + 2800 + 4800 = $11,728
