2. You have $500 to invest and have several options available to you. p a. Your banker shows you the graph at right to explain what you can earn if you invest with him. Does this graph represent simple or compound interest? How can you tell? What is the interest rate? Write an equation to represent how much money you would have as time passes. Let x represent time in years.​

replace x with number then multiply or divide

Step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation: given equation a = h(b 1+b 2)

also we are given values of a, h and b 1 as :

a = 16, h = 4, and b 1 = 3.

in order to solve it for b 2, we need to plug the given values of   a, h and b 1 .

therefore, plugging values of   a, h and b 1   in given equation, we get

16 = 4( 3 + b 2)

first dividing both sides by 4, we get

4 = 3 + b 2

subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

4 -3 = 3 -3 + b 2

1 = b 2.
