After one year you will owe $59000 * 1.1
After 2 years you will owe $59000 * 1.1 * 1.1

or using the formula

S = P * (1+i) ^ n
S = 59000 * 1.11 ^ 2
S = 72,693.90

I have worked it out via a commercial mathematics formula but maybe you have to do it using GP formula.
If you want me to work it out a different way let me know.
(Also, i often make careless mistakes so if you think that i am wrong you might be right. )

A=100000
i=10.5% = 0.105
n=25
R=yearly repayment

A = R * (a angle n at i)

(a angle n at i) = [1-(1+i)^(-n)] / i
=[1-1.105^(-25)] / 0.105
=8.739019 (4 dec places)
so
100000 = R * 8.739019
R = 100000 / 8.739019
= $11,442.93

You are right . It doesn't work on the web2.0calc.
This is a problem with this calculator.
I don't think that you should rely on this calc - it obviously has some problems.
It works fine on my casio calculator and also on my Sharp calculator.

The web2.0calc also gives a value to 5.5! Where there is no such value.
If you put this into my casio or my sharp calculator it gives an error message - which is what it is supposed to do.

In case you are not familiar with the symbol 5! (5 factorial) means 1*2*3*4*5 = 120 but 5.5! means nothing.

CONCLUSION
There are definitely bugs in the programming of the web2.0 calculator.

I'm not intending to do the question but these are the properties that your teacher is referring to. I copied them from http://www.aaamath.com/pro74ax2.htm

There are four mathematical properties which involve addition. The properties are the commutative, associative, additive identity and distributive properties.

Commutative property: When two numbers are added, the sum is the same regardless of the order of the addends. For example 4 + 2 = 2 + 4

Associative Property: When three or more numbers are added, the sum is the same regardless of the grouping of the addends. For example (2 + 3) + 4 = 2 + (3 + 4)

Additive Identity Property: The sum of any number and zero is the original number. For example 5 + 0 = 5.

Distributive property: The sum of two numbers times a third number is equal to the sum of each addend times the third number. For example 4 * (6 + 3) = 4*6 + 4*3

I have no idea what you are talking about.

1mm on the map = 62500mm in real life
so
175mm on the map = 62500mm * 175 in real life = 10937500mm
There are 1000mm in a metre so
10937500/1000 = 10937.5m
so X = 10937.5

alternatively

1mm on the map = 62500mm in real life = 62.5m
so
175mm on the map = 62.5m * 175 in real life = 10937.5mm
so X = 10937.5

4(x-4)+64=-2x

ok, get rid of the brackets first

4x-16 +64 = -2x

now add the like terms on the left (remember the minus sign belongs to the thing behind it, in this case 16) -16+64 = 64-16

4x + 48 = -2x

now you want the lots of x on one side and the numbers with no x on the other side If you take away 4x on the left side you will be left with just 48

4x-4x + 48 = -2x -4x
48= -6x
Now you need to get rid of -6 on the right side. The opposite of multiplying by -6 is dividing by -6. You have to do in to both sides.

48/(-6) = -6*x / -6
-8 = x

x = -8

You can check your answer LHS = 4(x-4)+64 = 4*(-8-4) +64 = 4 * -12 + 64 = -48 + 64 = 16
RHS = -2x = -2* -8 = 16
The left hand side equals the right hand side so the answer is correct.
