-3(y+2)^2 - 5 + 6y
= -3(y^2 + 4y + 4) - 5 + 6y
= -3y^2 - 12y - 12 - 5 + 6y
= -y^2 - 6y - 17
Answer
(-1) y^2 + (-6) y + (-17)
Given:
In 2010, the population of a town = 2000
Every year, it increase by 1.5%
To find the equation P(t) which represents the population of this town t years from 2010.
Formula
If a be the original population of a town and it increases by b% every year, after t year the population will be

Now,
Taking, a =2000, b = 1.5 we get,

or, 
Hence,
The population of this town t years from 2010 P(t) =
, Option D.
The second one, 69/24 = 23/8 and cannot be simplified further
