Which One Doesn't Belong? Identify the linear expression that is not equivalent to
the other three. Explain your reasoning.
a. (2x - 1) + (-3x + 7)
b. (-5x + 3) + (4x + 3)
c. (5x - 6) + (-6x + 12)
d. 1-5x-1)+(6x + 7)

I think that the answer is b

Answer is B, I am not sure though.

Ps: Please inform me if this is correct

positive

step-by-step explanation:

the quadrant is facing upwards

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.
