Answer:

<h2><u>B.</u> <u>It must be a positive number since it represents a number of hours.</u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

I got it right on EDG.

<em />

Simplifying

7h + -5(3h + -8) = -72

Reorder the terms:

7h + -5(-8 + 3h) = -72

7h + (-8 * -5 + 3h * -5) = -72

7h + (40 + -15h) = -72

Reorder the terms:

40 + 7h + -15h = -72

Combine like terms: 7h + -15h = -8h

40 + -8h = -72

Solving

40 + -8h = -72

Solving for variable 'h'.

Move all terms containing h to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-40' to each side of the equation.

40 + -40 + -8h = -72 + -40

Combine like terms: 40 + -40 = 0

0 + -8h = -72 + -40

-8h = -72 + -40

Combine like terms: -72 + -40 = -112

-8h = -112

Divide each side by '-8'.

h = 14

Simplifying

h = 14

How much would $100 invested at 8% intrest compounded annually be worth after 15 years? round your answer to the nearest cent. d
frosja888 [35]
Our P = 100, r = .08, n = 1 (annually means once a year), and t = 15.  Filling in accordingly, we have A(t)=100(1+ \frac{.08}{1})^{(1)(15)}.  Simplifying a bit gives us  A(t)=100(1+.08)^{15}  and  A(t)=100(1.08)^{15}.  Raising that number inside the parenthesis to the 15th power gives us  A(t)=100(3.172169114).  Multiplying to finish means that A(t) = $317.22

Help please!!! I’ll mark u as brainliest

Answer:

Answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, the graph would still be a function, but a different function than if the values were all different. This would cause two of the values to be the same and have no slope on the line. Before, the function was quadratic, but now it would be quadratic until the two values are equal.
