Hello,
The answer to your question is....
2/3 + 3/8
= (2 × 8) + (3 × 3)
3 × 8
= 25/24 OR 1 1/24
Hope this helps!!!! Sorry I took so long :)
So for this you will be using an exponential equation, which is 
with a=initial value, b=growth/decay, y = total balance, and x = # of years
In this case, a = 500, and since with this problem the initial value is growing, you will add 100% to 6% to get 106%, or 1.06. The equation will be formed as such: 
With this problem, just plug in 15 into x and solve for y: 
In short, after 15 years Tom will have $1198.28 in his account.
Answer:
first one
2m=1 == 2+m-1+m
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex form of a quadratic function is:
f(x) = a(x - h)² + k
The coordinate (h, k) represents a parabola's vertex.
In order to convert a quadratic function in standard form to the vertex form, we can complete the square.
y = 2x² - 5x + 13
Move the constant, 13, to the other side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides of the equation.
y - 13 = 2x² - 5x
Factor out 2 on the right side of the equation.
y - 13 = 2(x² - 2.5x)
Add (b/2)² to both sides of the equation, but remember that since we factored 2 out on the right side of the equation we have to multiply (b/2)² by 2 again on the left side.
y - 13 + 2(2.5/2)² = 2(x² - 2.5x + (2.5/2)²)
y - 13 + 3.125 = 2(x² - 2.5x + 1.5625)
Add the constants on the left and factor the expression on the right to a perfect square.
y - 9.875 = 2(x - 1.25)²
Now, we need y to be by itself again so add 9.875 back to both sides of the equation to move it back to the right side.
y = 2(x - 1.25)² + 9.875
Vertex: (1.25, 9.875)
Solution: y = 2(x - 1.25)² + 9.875
Or if you prefer fractions
y = 2(x - 5/4)² + 79/8
