Answer:
$954.78
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it increases by 8.5%, all you have to do is multiply 879.98 by 1.085.
879.98 * 1.085 = $954.7783 = $954.78 (you always have to round to two decimal places with money)
2x-4(x+1)=-13
1) we solve this equation:
2x-4(x+1)=-12
2x-4x-4=-12
-2x=-12+4
-2x=-8
x=-8/-2
x=4
2) we evalute x²-1
x²-1=4²-1=16-1=15
Answer: 15
