Given the expression
-2 + 6.45z - 6 + (-3.25z)
First, classify like terms, constant with constant, coefficient-variable with coefficient-variable
-2 + 6.45z - 6 + (-3.25z)
= 6.45z + (-3.25z) - 2 - 6
Second, combining like terms
= 6.45z + (-3.25z) - 2 - 6
= 6.45z - 3.25z - 8
= 3.20z - 8
The simplest form is 3.20 - 8
The answer -35.5 Hope this helps you
For simple interest
i=prn
where i= interest p=amount invested, r=rate n=time period
i= 970*4 and 1/4 * 2
