Answer:
C) x2 + x = 306
Step-by-step explanation:
x2 + x = 306
x2 + x - 306 = 0
x2 + 18x - 17x + 18 * (-17) = 0
x ( x + 18) - 17 (x +18) =0
(x + 18) (x - 17 ) = 0
x = -18 or 17

Answer:
$755.80
Step-by-step explanation:
Determine the compound amount first and then subtract the principal from it, to find the amount of interest.
The compound amount formula is A = P (1 + r/n)^(nt), where
P is the initial principal, r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction, n is the number of compounding periods per year, and t is the number of years. Here, P = $2179; t = 5 yrs; r = 0.06; and n = 4 (quarterly compounding).
We get:
A = $2179(1 + 0.06/4)^(4*5), or $2179(1.015)^20, or $2179(1.347) = $2937.80.
The compound amount is $2934.80. Subtracting the $2179 principal results in the interest earned: $755.80.
