So for this you will be using an exponential equation, which is 
with a=initial value, b=growth/decay, y = total balance, and x = # of years
In this case, a = 500, and since with this problem the initial value is growing, you will add 100% to 6% to get 106%, or 1.06. The equation will be formed as such: 
With this problem, just plug in 15 into x and solve for y: 
In short, after 15 years Tom will have $1198.28 in his account.

Answer:
11.5 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The fact that the figures are similar means the side lengths are proportional:
RS/QT = BC/AD
RS/(7 m) = (2.3 m)/(1.4 m)
RS = (7 m)(2.3/1.4) . . . . . . multiply by 7 m
RS = 11.5 m
: <span> you have to solve for y. So if you do that you get y= -2/3x + 6
graph according to y=mx + b
b is y intercept, so the graph crosses the point (0, 6)
m is the slope and slope is rise over run. So go down 2 and right 3 from (0,6) as many times as you need to fill up the graph.
Then go up 2 and left 3 from (0,6) as many times as you need to fill the graph.
Put arrows at each end of your line to show that it's a line. </span>
Answer:
D and E
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter = 4s
4(x + 8)
4x + 32
88.23%
Simply plug 15/17 into you calculator
and it will give you a decimal, in this case it should be .88235294...
simply move the decimal back to placements and you should have
88.235294... thats still a lot of numbers so just reduce it to 2 places after the decimal and add a percent sign
88.23%
and your done :) this works for any similar problems
I hope this helps
