D. 2x+3y=14 is the correct answer.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Since interest is compounded semi-annually (half a year or 6 months), in a spawn of 2 years, the interest will have been compounded 4 times. As given in the problem, each time the interest is compounded, the new balance will be 107% or 1.07 times the amount of the old balance.
Therefore, we can set up the following equation to find the new balance after 2 years:

Answer:
You are now 38 m below base camp.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
You start hiking at an elevation that is 80 meters below base camp.
Now your initial location is 80 m below base camp, that can be represents as: -80
Now you increase your elevation by 42.
So you go up by 42.
In other words, you get the equation -80+42 = -38.
Since, a negative value is below the base camp, this means that you are now 38 m below base camp.
