William just got hired for a new job and will make \$78,000$78,000 in his first year. William was told that he can expect to get raises of \$3,000$3,000 every year going forward. How much money in salary would William make in his 29th year working at this job?

$162,000

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope this is help

$159,000

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem involves arithmetic sequences, because each term is found by adding a common difference to the previous term.  If the first term is $78,000, the next is $78,000 + $3000, and so on.

The general sequence is a(n) = $78,000 + $3000(n - 1)

At the end of his 28th (not 29th) year, William would be making

a(28) = $78,000 + $3000(28 - 1) during his 29th year.  This comes to

$159,000.

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
