So for this you will be using an exponential equation, which is
with a=initial value, b=growth/decay, y = total balance, and x = # of years
In this case, a = 500, and since with this problem the initial value is growing, you will add 100% to 6% to get 106%, or 1.06. The equation will be formed as such: 
With this problem, just plug in 15 into x and solve for y: 
In short, after 15 years Tom will have $1198.28 in his account.
The answer is going to be x=22
Answer:
3.5 times 2 equals 7 so try 2.5 times 2 which would be 5, 5 could be the answer but im not sure :)
Answer:
Simple
Rise/Run
for one week they run 10 miles
2 weeks 20 miles
3 weeks 30 miles
4 weeks 40 miles
the rate of change would be 10/1 (Why? Because you rise +10 each time per week.)
divide that it would be 10 (:
