Mr. bean borrowed three dollars to open a tv network. he lost two dollars each day.

days: 0 days=-3$
1 day=-5$
2 days=-7$
3 days=-9$
if m=money and d=days, write an equation for the lone that represents his financial condition. < tell me the answer to this, i can't figure it out.

Since Mr. Bean is losing $2 each day, he will have lost a total of 2*D dollars in D days.  He also started with $3 of debt ($-3) when D = 0
Therefore his total amount of money is starting amount - total losses or -3-2*D
so M = -2*D - 3

So loss of 2 per day
represent x for number of days
let y represent earnings (if negative,assume loss)
x=0 then y=-3
x=1, then y=-5
so  each day is -2 so
-2 times days or -2x
subsitute
y=-2x
if x=0 then y=-3
y=-2(0)+b
-3=0+b
b=-3

equation is
y=-2x-3

whoopes sorry
m=money
d=days then
m=-2d-3

Since the numbers are "to the power", you expand it by writing out the number, multiplied with itself.

1). -5 x -5 x -5 x-5 x -5 x -5 x -5 That is -5^7 (It is multiplied by itself 7 times) =-78125

2). Same thing. 2/5 x 2/5 x 2/5 = 8/125
