Alright, so you have the basic formula- good.
You have the A value (400), the interest rate r (7.5% -> .075 in decimal), and the final P value (8500). So, we only need to solve for t.
8500 = (400)(1+.075)^t
/400 /400
21.25 = 1.075^t
logarithms are the inverse of exponents, basically, if you have an example like
y = b^x, then a logarithm inverts it, logy(baseb)=x
Makes sense if you consider a power of ten.
1000 = 10^3
if you put logbase10(1000), you'll get 3.
Anyways, though, to solve the problem make a log with a base of 1.075 in your calculator
log21.25(base 1.075) = t
also, because of rules of change of base (might want to look this up to clarify), you can write this as log(21.25)/log(1.075) = t
Thus, t is 42.26118551.
Rounded to hundredths, t=42.26

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The vector joining the ship to the rock is t= 7 i + 5 j
The direction is 0.9505 radians east of north.
Step-by-step explanation:
The position vector of the ship:
r= 1 i + 0 j
The position vector of the ship:
s= 6 i + 5 j
The vector joining the ship to the rock is:
t = r + s
t = (1 i + 0 j) + (6 i + 5 j)
t = 7 i + 5 j
The bearing of the rock to the ship is:
Θ= 
= 0.9505 radians
I don’t know what the equation is but when using elimination you should cancel out opposite numbers such as 4x and negative 4x
