The product of some negative number and 3 less than twice that number 665. Find the number.

x = 19, -17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term for some negative number = x

the second term is thrice less than twice that number = 2x - 3

The product is 665 : x( 2x-3) = 665

= 2x^2 - 3x -665 = 0

divided by 2,

quadratic equation,

x = 19, -17.5

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
