Use the compound interest formula
A = P (1 + r/n)^(nt).
Here A = unknown; B = initial amount = $300;
r = rate = 0.0218; n = 2 (2 compounding periods per year); and t = 1/2 (year).
Then A = $300 (1+0.0218/2)^(2*[1/2])
A = $300 (1.0218)^1 or A = $300(1.0218) = $306.54
1 mile * (1 hr / 4 mile) = 1/4 hr
1/4 hr = 15 min
Linear positive because you can see, it’s moving up not down.
60-3d + 20-6 =4d
74-3d =4d
-3d =4d -74
-7d = -74
D=74/7
