Answer:
The taxi ride is 6.5 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+1.3y=18.45
5(2)+1.3y=18.45
10+1.3y=18.45
1.3y=18.45-10
1.3y=8.45
y=8.45/1.3
y=6.5
Answer:
<u>Equation</u>: 
<u>The balance after 5 years is: $1742.43</u>
<u></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a compound growth problem . THe formula is:

Where
F is future amount
P is present amount
r is rate of interest, annually
n is the number of compounding per year
t is the time in years
Given:
P = 1500
r = 0.03
n = 12 (compounded monthly means 12 times a year)
The compound interest formula modelled by the variables is:

Now, we want balance after 5 years, so t = 5, substituting, we get:

<u>The balance after 5 years is: $1742.43</u>
If you would like to calculate (a + 1) * (a + 2) - (a + 1) * (a - 2) - a - 1, you can do this using the following steps:
(a + 1) * (a + 2) - (a + 1) * (a - 2) - a - 1 = a^2 + 2 * a + 1 * a + 2 - (a^2 - 2 * a + 1 * a - 2) - a - 1 = a^2 + 3 * a + 2 - a^2 + 2 * a - 1 * a + 2 - a - 1 = 3 * a + 3
The correct result would be 3 * a + 3.
It is geometric because when you reduce all the created fractions from the sequence, all r’s equal 8.
