3(x−2)−5x−10

Distribute:

=(3)(x)+(3)(−2)+−5x+−10

=3x+−6+−5x+−10

Combine Like Terms:

=3x+−6+−5x+−10

=(3x+−5x)+(−6+−10)

=−2x+−16

Answer:

=−2x−16

sveta [45]

Well, just take the difference, 51-29, and 22 is how much less his card it being valued at. Or you can do 29-55, which would be -22, showing the amount and that it's valued less.

the function f(t)= 3,500(1.003)^t gives the value of a saving account t months after it was opened.How long will it take for the

Pavel [41]

Answer:

After 19 months,value in the account will reach $3700

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of a savings account f(t) in terms of t ( number of months since account opening) is given as $3,500(1.003)^{t}$

We need to determine the value of t when f(t)>=3700

Expressing it in equation form,

$3,500(1.003)^{t} >= 3700$

$=>(1.003)^{t} >= \frac{3700}{3500}$

$=>(1.003)^{t} >= 1.057$

Taking log of both sides,

$=>t * log(1.003) >= log(1.057)$

$=>t >= \frac{log(1.057)}{log(1.003)}$

$=>t >= 18.51$

So t = 19.
