Answer:
a = 1
b = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's make equations out of those given f(x)'s
-4 = -3a + b
2 = 3a + b
We can use elimination method to get rid of the a real quick
-4 = b
2 = b
Add those together
-2 = 2b
Divide both sides by 2
-2/2 = 2b/2
b = -1
Plug in the new b in one of the original equations; I'm gonna use the bottom one
2 = 3a - 1
+ 1        + 1
3 = 3a
3/3 = 3a/3
a = 1
 
        
             
        
        
        
The area of a rectangle is L x W, so 9(5+x) is the formula for the area in factored form. It can be simplified to 45+9x
        
             
        
        
        
This can be done easily in a few ways. One, you could do equivelent fractions as this. 16 percent is the same as 16 over 100, or, 16/100, 100 being the total with an = sign with X over 550, or, X/550. you can multiply 16 by 500 and divide by 100 to get $88. Or you could do it my way, (prefered way). take the $550, divide it by 100, then multiply by 16 and get $88. either way you do this, you take away the $88 from $550 and get the sale price of [Drumroll please...]

Answer:
$36 400
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
The first step is to figure out how much money is saved at the end of each month for the period from January 1 to June 15. The amount deposited at the end of each month is obtained by multiplying the amount from the previous month by 3.
The amount deposited in January is  
The amount deposited in February is 
The amount deposited in March is  
The amount deposited in April is  
The amount deposited in May is  
The amount deposited in June is  
Step 2
The next step is to add up all the money that was deposited into the account. This calculation is shown below,

 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
I believe the answer to that problem would be $68.55, since you have to add them together and then multiply them by .07 for the percentage.
