1) Well you divide the copies by 14 for the amount of friends that Ivan has helping him then multiply that to the 0.25 cents that he is playing them.
2) You multiply 1428 of the copies of flyers to the 0.10 then add that answer to the answer of number 1
2² - y - 5 = 0
Evaluate the power.
4 - y - 5 = 0
Calculate the sum or difference.
-1 - y = 0
Move constant to the right side and change its sign.
-y = 1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation.
y = -1
To find the number of years between 1844 to 2015 you have to subtract.
Lets say that x is the # of years in between 1844 and 2015
Then we have:

After doing the subtraction using a calculator or a pencil and paper, you get that:

So 171 years have passed from 1844 to reach to 2015.
