If b=-2 then -2x+-2 =-12 making x equal 5 ,5 times -2 equals -10 plus negative 2 equals -12
Answer:
the dimensions are 9 and 13
I think the answer is D. The U.S. passed laws protecting the beaver.
T = 40000 + 40000(1.03) + 40000(1.03)^2 + ... + 40000(1.03)^15
Multiply the above equation by 1.03 giving
1.03(T) = 40000(1.03) + 40000(1.03)^2 + 40000(1.03)^3 + ... + 40000(1.03)^15 + 40000(1.03)^16
Now subtract the first equation from the second to give
0.03T = 40000(1.03)^16 - 40000
0.03T = 40000(1.03^16 - 1)
0.03T = 24188.26
T = 24188.26 / 0.03 = $806275.25
