5 0

The value of the car depreciates by 18% every year, so every year, 82% (100% - 18%) of the value of the car is left.

After one year, the value of the car is $16,000(0.82)
After two years, the value of the car from last year is multiplied again by 0.82: $16,000(0.82)(0.82)
After three years: $16,000(0.82)(0.82)(0.82), or $16,000(0.82)^3

After n years: $16,000(0.82)^n

After 8 years, the value of the car is $16,000(0.82)^8 = $3270.63

2a(5-b)=3b+7 solve for b Step by step

Sidana [21]

2a(5-b)=3b+7

[open bracket]
10a - 2ab = 3b + 7

[solve for b, so we need to move all terms with b to the left]
[-3b on both sides]
10a - 2ab - 3b = 3b + 7 - 3b
10a - 2ab - 3b = 7

[move all those without b to the right]
[-10a on both side]
10a - 2ab- 3b - 10a = 7 - 10a
-2ab - 3b = 7 - 10a

[divide by -1 through to change b to be positive]
2ab + 3b = 10a - 7

[take b out as the common factor]
b(2a + 3) = 10a - 7

[divide by (2a+3) through]
b = (10a -7)/(2a+3)

A given shape that is bounded by three sides and has got three internal angles is referred to as a triangle. Thus the value of PB is 8.0 units.

A given shape that is bounded by three sides and has got three internal angles is referred to as a triangle. Types of triangles include right angle triangle, isosceles triangle, equilateral triangle, acute angle triangle, etc. The sum of the internal angles of any triangle is $180^{o}$ .
