In order to sole the problem you need to create an equation to model what you are trying to do.
You end up with an equation looking like
25000*0.95^t
25000 is the starting value when t=0
95% is the amount remaining after the 5% decay
0.95 is being raised to the power of t to determine how many times it has decayed
When t=3 the equation should be
25000*0.95^3=21434.375
You would have two hundred and fifty seven figures.
Answer:
y = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
0.75y−1.5y+0.5=5
0.75y+−1.5y+0.5=5
(0.75y+−1.5y)+(0.5)=5(Combine Like Terms)
−0.75y+0.5=5
−0.75y+0.5=5
Step 2: Subtract 0.5 from both sides.
−0.75y+0.5−0.5=5−0.5
−0.75y=4.5
Step 3: Divide both sides by -0.75.
Hope this helps!
