Step-by-step explanation:
a= 16x+3-14x+15
combine like terms, 16x-14x= 2x
so,
2x+3+15,
15+3=18
18=2x, divide 18 by 2
x=9
b) *open the parenthesis* -1/6 *24x = -4x
-1/6*60 = -10
-4x- (-10)= -4x+10
-4x+10+2x= -4x+2x= -2x
-2x=10 = 2x=-10 = x=-5
Cheers!
Answer:
$72.5
Step-by-step explanation:
- Initial value = $200
- Depreciated value after 4 years = $115
<u>Since depreciation rate is linear, then:</u>
- 200 - 4x = 115
- 4x = 200 - 115
- 4x = 85
- x = 85/4
- x = 21.25
<u>Value after 6 years:</u>
- 200 - 6*21.25 = 200 - 127.5 = $72.5
Answer:
15 nuts do not get found.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Of a squirrel's hidden nuts, for every 5 that get found, there are 3 that do not get found.
Total number of nuts squirrel had hidden = 40
Proportion of nuts not found to total = 3/(3+5) = 3/8
Hence out of 40, nuts not found =3/8(40) = 15 nuts.
15 nuts would not be found and 25 nuts would be found if squirrel had hidden in total 40 nuts.
This is because the proportion of found:unfound = 5:3
Hence 25:!5 =5:3 satisfies this
15 nuts are not found.
