Answer:
A. (1, -2)
B. the lines intersect at the solution point: (1, -2).
Step-by-step explanation:
A. The equations can be solve by substitution by using the y-expression provided by one of them to substitute for y in the other.
This gives ...
3x -5 = 6x -8
Adding 8-3x to both sides, we get ...
3 = 3x
Dividing both sides by 3 gives ...
1 = x
Substituting this value into the first equation, we can find y:
y = 3(1) -5 = -2
The solution is (x, y) = (1, -2).
__
B. The lines intersect at the solution point, the point that satisfies both equations simultaneously. That point is (1, -2).

Answer:
5. f(x) = 10,000 (1.5)^x
Step-by-step explanation:
We would have to multiply the original amount by 1.50^x because the initial amount would be 1, and 50% increase would be .5 so 1.5 and you raise it to the number of years to show the total increase.
Let's test it.
Initial:
10,000
After 1 year
10,000 + (.5*10000)
10,000 + 5000 = 15,000
After 2 years
15,000 + (.5*15000)
15,000 + 7500 = 22,500
Let's try our equation.
f(x) = 10,000 (1.5)^x
x = 2
10,000(1.5)^2
10,000(2.25) = 22,500
The same!
