Due to "order of operations" rules, you MUST do the multiplication -5(12x+8) first, eliminating the parentheses long the way:
8 - 60x - 40
Now combine the 8 and -40 and rewrite the entire answer in 2 (not 3) terms.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation actually looks like this
and filling in the info given:
which simplifies to

Orders of operation tells us that we need to take care of the exponential stuff first, so
V = 25,000(.3663573) and
V = $9158.93 which rounds to what is shown as the second choice down: $9,159.
Answer:
x = 12
