Hi Student!
This question is fairly simple because it gives us an equation and they also give us a value for the variable that is within the equation and they tell us evaluate the expression. So let's plug in the values and solve.
<u>Plug in the values</u>
<u>Factor out the exponent</u>
<u>Combine</u>
Therefore, the final answer that we would get when substituting m with 9 in the given equation is that we get 86.
A is addition
b is subtraction
c is division
Assuming it was an entire year so 12 months
12 x 13 = 156
289 x 0.07 = 20.23
156 + 20.23 = $176.23
