So for this, we will be applying the <u>zero product property</u>, which is <u>"if a x b = 0, then either a = 0 or b = 0 or both a and b = 0"</u>. In this case, a = x + 13 and b = x - 7. Solve them separately:

<u>Your answer is x = -13 and 7.</u>
Answer: 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's split these two situations up.
Linda
Linda deposits $1,800 into an account that pays 7.5% interest, compounded.
The equation:
1,800× 1.075^x=y
Let's put in 10 for x.
1.075^10= 2.06103156 × 1,800= 3,709.85681≈ 3,710
Anna
Anna deposits $4,000 into an account that pays 5% interest, compounded.
The equation:
4,000× 1.05^x=y
Let's put in 10 for x.
1.05×10= 1.62889463×4,000= 6515.57852= 6516
A) Linda's account: $3,710
Anna's account: $6,516
Answer:
14,650
Step-by-step explanation:
If the profit increases every month, and if the first month is 13,000, and then each subsequent month is 150, the answer is 13,000+(150*11) = 14,650
