First lets simplify the first term and yield (2a)
The second term:
1. 2a * (-1/2) = -a
2. -a + a = 0
Now we have simplified both terms to: (2a) (0)
Anything multiplied by 0 is 0, so the answer is also 0.
7y+5-8y+6
Group like terms
7y-8y+5+6
-y+11
or 11-y
The first question’s answer is the last option. And the range is 104
The formula for simple interest is
I=PRT
here P=$1200
R=5% or 0.05
T=4 years
plugging in the formula we get
I=1200*0.05*4=240
Balance after four years =1200+240=$1440
