Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
75% of x = 18
75/100 * x = 18 (x = total number of students)
solving
x = 24
total number of students = 24
Checking:
75/100 * 24 = 18
Use compound interest formula:
Future value, F
25000=P(1+i)^n
where
P=present value to be found
i=annual interest rate = 0.065
n=number of years = 6
so
25000=P(1.065)^6
=>
P=(25000/1.065^6)=$17133.353
2x-7=29
"Seven less than" => minus 7.
"Two times <u>a number</u>" => 2x (x is the unknown number)
"is twenty-nine" => =29
Putting it all together,
-7 + 2x = 29
or
2x-7=29
(if you were wondering x is equal to 18)
The option are missing in the question. The options are :
A. P = 2, a = 1
B. 
C. 
D. P = 2, a = 3
Solution :
The given function is 
So for the function to be an exponential growth, a should be a positive number and should be larger than 1. If it less than 1 or a fraction, then it is a decay. If the value of a is negative, then it would be between positive and negative alternately.
When the four option being substituted in the function, we get
A). It is a constant function since 
B). Here, the value of a is a fraction which is less than 1, so it is a decay function. 
C). It is a constant function since the value of a is 1.
D). Here a = 3. So substituting, as the value of x increases by 1, the value of the function, f(x) increases by 3 times.

Therefore, option (D). represents an exponential function.
I hope this is the right answer and if it's not then my apologies.
And sorry it took so long.
