Easy there on the caps, partner.
The nine, using the distributive property, distributes itself across the brackets, and so 9 times t is 9t and 9 times -1 is -9.
Therefore, 9(t-1) = 9t -9
The first step to determine the percentage of increase is to
compute for the difference of consumer price index in value.
231.11 (consumer price index for 2012) – 211.4 (consumer
price index for 2007) = 19.71 (increase)
To compute for the percentage of increase, you need to
compare the increase to the consumer price index for 2007.
19.71/211.4 = 9.3% increase

-2(-4+c)
-2 x -4= 8
-2 x c= -2c
