x(y) is the same as saying "x times y". The x and y are placeholders for numbers. Think of them like boxes to place a number inside. In this case, we place an "8" in the box labeled "x"; we also place a "23" in the box labeled "y"
So, x*y = 8*23 = 184
Answer: 184

Given that the current salary for Ngozi is $24000 and she earns 3.5% raise yearly, the function that will represent her salary in t years will be:
A=P(1+r)^t
where:
A=future amount
P=principle
r=rate
t=time
thus plugging in the values we shall have:
s(t)=24000(1+3.5/100)^t
s(t)=24000(1.035)^t
thus the answer is:
s(t)=24000(1.035)^t
Step 1) Plug in
<em>4(-2-3(-2)) < 6(-2-3(-2))</em>
Step 2) Take care of inner parentheses
<em>4(-2+6) < 6(-2+6)</em>
Step 3) Distribute
<em>-8+24 < -12+36</em>
Step 4) Add
16 < 24 (final answer)
Two inches to centimeters is about 5.08
