Answer:
$1,701.64
Step-by-step explanation:
(see attached for reference)
recall that for compound interest, the following formula applies:
A = P [1 + (r/n) ] ^ (nt), where
A = final amount (we are asked to find this)
P = Principal amount = $1,200
r = interest rate = 5% = 0.05
t = 7 years
n = 12
Substituting these into the equation,
A = 1200 [1 + (0.05/12) ] ^ [(12)(7)]
A = $1,701.64
The answer is: [B]: " x + 3y + 10 = 0 " .

Explanation:
______________________________________________________
Note the equation for a line; in 'slope-intercept form': "y = mx + b" ;
in which "y" is isolated alone, as a single variable, on the left-hand side of the equation;
"m" = the slope of the line; and is the co-efficient of "x" ;
b = the "y-intercept"; (or the "y-coordinate of the point of the "y-intercept").
______________________________________________________
So, given the information in this very question/problem:
______________________________________________________
slope = m = (-1/3) ;
b = y-intercept = (10/3) ;
______________________________________________________
And we can write the equation of the line; in "slope-intercept form"; that is:
______________________________________________________
" y = mx + b " ; as:
______________________________________________________
" y = (-1/3)x + (10/3) " ;
______________________________________________________
Now, the problem asks for the equation of this line; in "general form"; or "standard format"; which is:
________________________________________
"Ax + By + C = 0 " ;
________________________________________
So; given:
____________________________________
" y = (-1/3)x + (10/3) " ;
____________________________________
We can multiply the ENTIRE EQUATION (both sides) by "3" ; to get rid of the "fractions" ;
→ 3* { y = (-1/3)x + (10/3) } ;
→ 3y = -1x + 10 ;
↔ -1x + 10 = 3y ;
Subtract "(3y)" from each side of the equation:
____________________________________
-1x + 10 − 3y = 3y − 3y ;
to get:
-1x + 10 − 3y = 0 ;
↔ -1x − 3y − 10 = 0 ;
→ This is not one of the "3 (THREE) answer choices given" ;
→ So, multiply the ENTIRE EQUATION (both sides); by "-1" ; as follows:
-1 * {-1x − 3y − 10 = 0} ;
to get:
______________________________________________________
→ " x + 3y + 10 = 0 " ; which is: "Answer choice: [B] ."
______________________________________________________
Note that is equation is in the "standard format" ;
→ " Ax + By + C = 0 " .

-------------------------
2 ⋅ 4
Simplify the numerator.
Raise 8 to the p ower of 2.
−8 ± √64 − 4 ⋅ 4 ⋅ −5
x= ---------------------------
2 ⋅ 4
Multiply −4 by 4.
−8 ± √64 − 16 ⋅ −5
x = -------------------------
2 ⋅ 4
Multiply −16 by −5.
−8 ± √64 + 80
x = -------------------
2 ⋅ 4
Add 64 and 80.
−8 ± √144
x = --------------
2 ⋅ 4
Rewrite 144 as 12^2.
−8 ± √122
x = ------------
2 ⋅ 4
Pull terms out from under the radical, assuming positive real numbers.
multiply 2 by 4
−8 ± 12
x= ------------
8
simplify
−2 ± 3
x= ---------
2
The final answer is the combination of both solutions.
x= 1/2, -5/2
