It's C) -3/4If you need the steps let me know. (:
2nd month: (2000 - 35) 1.01 = 1984.65
3rd month: (1984.65 - 35) 1.01 = 1969.15
-4(-5-b)=1/3(b+16) Multiply both sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction
-12(-5-b)=b+16 distribute the -12 to get rid of the parenthesis
60+12b=b+16 get the b on the left side and non b values to the right side
11b=-44 solve for b
b=-44/11 simplify the fraction
b=-4
3/5(t+18)=-3(2-t) multiply both sides by 5/3 to get rid of thefraction
t+18=-5(2-t) distribute the -5 to get rid of the parenthises
t+18=-10+5t get the t to the left side and non t values to the right
-4t=-28 solve for t
t=7
(x+3)(x^2-3x+9)
this gets the x^3 while the 3x cancels out and 3*9=27
hope this helps although i didn't explain very well :)
