Answer: OQ = 34
Step-by-step explanation:
Please find the attached files for the solution
F(2) = 20(1.25)^x
f(2) = 20(1.25)^2 - plug in 2 to x
f(2) = 20(1.5625) - calculate 1.25^2
f(2) = 31.25 - simplify
Follow PEMDAS.
You would first do your distributive property which is, -5(z+2). You would multiply -5 to z and -5 to 2 which will give you -5z + -10.
so now you have 2z-5z+ -10= -8 - 2z. Now you must isolate the variable. So subtract -8 to -10 which will give you -18.
Now you have the equation 2z-5z-18=-2z
Now combine like terms. 2z-5z= -3z
Now you have the equation -3z-18=-2z
Now you must move the -3z to the other side of the equal sign by adding the opposite which is +3z to -2z which will give you +1z
Now you have -18= 1z
Now you divide. -18 divided by 1 is -18.
So your final answer will be -18=z
