Answer:
Slope = -1
Step-by-step explanation:

3 times x equals to 646
3x=646
(n + 7)2 = n - 1
2n +14 = n - 1
2n - n +14 = n - n - 1
n + 14 -14 = -1 - 14
n = -15
(-15 + 7)2 = -15 - 1
(-8)2 = -16
-16 = -16
Mikayla subtracted 4 from both sides in the beginning when she should've added it to both sides to cancel it out on the right. the correct answer should actually be x=1
Answer:
The value of the bond when Tyler's mom purchased it was $150
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
In this problem we have a exponential function of the form

where
a is the initial value (y-intercept)
b is the base
r is the rate
b=(1+r)
In this problem
r=4%=4/100=0.04
b=1+0.04=1.04
substitute

where
x is the number of years since the savings bond was purchased
f(x) is the value of the savings bond
For x=1
f(x)=$156
substitute

Solve for a


therefore
The value of the bond when Tyler's mom purchased it was $150
