First ask yourselfhat needs to be dristributed.
That would be -1 (x-9)
To distribute you have to multiply the number out side of the parentheses (-1) by each term inside the parentheses( x and -9)
-1×x=-x
-1×-9=9
Now the expression is
-x+9+4x
To simplify you have to combine like terms (4x and-x)
4x-x=3x
Your answer is 9+3x or 3(3+x).
Let
x---------> represent the number of miles Troy's has driven
y--------> represent the amount of gas in Troy's truck
we know that
the equation that represents the amount of gas, y, in troy' s truck after driving a certain number of miles, x is

where
m is the slope---------> 
in this problem the slope is equal to 
it's negative because the tank is going to be consumed
assuming he starts with a full tank

substitute in the formula above

therefore
the answer is
the equation 
Answer:
6050
Step-by-step explanation:
Total money that will be in the account in 10 years = 45000
Time period = 10 years
Rate of interest = 5% or 0.05
n = 12 (number o times the money is compounded)
Let the principal (p) be = x
Formula for compound interest = 
Putting the values in the formula we get,





Hence, the principle amount should be approximately $27881.
