Answer:
4 + 13y
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number.
"twelve decreased by twice a number" ---> 12 - 2x
"8 times the sum of number and 4" ---> 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8x + 32 (distributive property)
12 = 10x + 32 (add 2x to both sides)
-20 = 10x (subtract 32 from both sides)
x = -2 (divide both sides by 10)
Answer:
9x + x

Answer:
C. the initial number of club members, in hundreds
Step-by-step explanation:
The general form of such an expression is ...
(initial value)×(growth factor per period)^(number of periods)
The use of 12 in the exponent suggests that the growth factor of 1.02 is an annual factor. If that is the case, for t months, the membership should be modeled as ...
1.8(1.02^(t/12))
_____
As written, the expression is not an exponential expression. With appropriate parentheses, it might be a good model if t is the number of <em>years</em> (not <em>months</em>), and if the expected growth rate is 2% per month.
1.8(1.02^(12t))
