since LJ = LK + KJ, replace the letters with the corresponding equations. You'd get:
LJ = (7x-10) + 28
LJ = 7x + 18
Do you need an integer or is that okay?^
By putting the x on one side then solve it
I'm assuming the function given is y = 9300(0.991)^x
If so, then the base of the exponent 0.991 is in the form 1+r
1+r = 0.991
r = 0.991-1
r = -0.009
The negative r value indicates a percent decrease.
Specifically it is a 0.9% decrease since 0.009 = 0.9/100 = 0.9%
Any time you have a percent decrease like this, the exponential function is undergoing decay.
the problem isnt that hard. you need to do the distributive property or FOIL with (m+3) four different times. The answer would be
M^4 + 12M^3 +54M^2 +108M +81
Outcomes in a sample space :)
