Answer:

$42,890

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form for an exponential equation is

y=a(b)^x

where a is the initial amount value and b is the growth rate or decay rate and t is the time in years.  Since we are dealing with money amounts AND this is a decay problem, we can rewrite accordingly:

A(t)=a(1-r)^t

where A(t) is the amount after the depreciation occurs, r is the interest rate in decimal form, and t is the time in years.  We know the initial amount (70,000) and the interest rate (.04), but we need to figure out what t is.  If the car was bought in 2006 and we want its value in 2018, a total o 12 years has gone by.  Therefore, our equation becomes:

A(t)=70,000(1-.04)^{12} or, after some simplification:

A(t)=70,000(.96)^{12}

First rais .96 to the 12th power to get

A(t) = 70,000(.6127097573)

and then multiply.

A(t) = $42,890

Hi,


Equation:

- 7 \times  (- 5)

Multiplying two negatives equals a positive.

( - ) \times ( - ) = ( + )

Now equation looks like:

7 \times 5 = 35

Hope this helps.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior angles of a heptagon add up to 5*180 = 900

So

x + 143 + 116 + 135 + 135 + 116 + 155 = 900     Add up the known angles

x + 800 = 900                                                   Subtract 800 from both sides

x + 800 - 800 = 900 - 800                              Combine

x = 100
