Answer:
C. Three
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to solve the equation for n:
14,580 = 20,000(9/10)^n
14580/20000 = 729/1000 = (9/10)^n
(9/10)^3 = (9/10)^n . . . . . . write the left side as a cube
3 = n . . . . . . equate exponents
After year 3, the value will be $14,580.
_____
You can use logarithms to find n:
log(0.729) = n×log(0.9) . . . . . . taking the log of the 2nd line above
log(0.729)/log(0.9) = n = 3
-10.0416666667 is the answer

Answer:
n= -52/7
Step-by-step explanation:
7(n+8)=4
(7×n)+ (7×8)=4
7n +56=4
7n +56-56=4-56
7n+0= -52
7n=-52
7n/7= -52/7
n= -52/7
Answer:
132 tiles
Step-by-step explanation:
Each tile cost $4
The adhesive/grouting material costs $17.82.
If the contractor pays a total of $545.82
Let the number of tiles be represented as x
The equation is represented as:
$17.82 + $4 × x = $545.82
17.82 + 4x = 545.82
Collect like terms
4x = 545.82 - 17.82
4x = 528
Divide bother sides by 4
4x/4 = 528/4
x = 132
The number of ceramic tiles the contractor bought = 132 tiles
