-1(7+4b) - distribute the -1 to the expression
(-1 * 7) + (-1 * 4b) — ( + and - = - )when it is multiplied
= -7 - 4b — there is no like term to added to subtracted so it will stay as like
x(x^2 - 2xy+y^2) distribute x to all
= x(x^2) - x(2xy) + x(y^2)
= x^3 - 2x^2y + xy^2 in multiplication exponent add to similar variable
No like term to connect
-5x(-3+x)
= -5x(-3) -5x(+x). (- and - is +)
= 15x -5x. similar variable x so connect the like connect like term by subtracting them
= 10x
Answer:
The runners drank 661 bottles of water.
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 661 from 750, and you are left with 89.
I'll use my own formula (similar to yours tho)

A=future amount
p=invested
r=rate in decimal
n=number of times per year compounded
t=time in years
so
when will A=2P
subsitute 2P for A
also quarterly means 4 times a year or n=4
and 12%=0.12=r
so

divide both sides by P

simplify


take the ln of both sides



divide both sides by 4ln(1.03)

use calculator
