In 2010, National Textile installed a new textile machine in one of its factories at a cost of $200,000. The machine is deprecia

ted linearly over 10 years with a scrap value of $10,000.

Answer:

V(t)=-19,000t+200,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let V(t) be the value of machine after t years and t represents the number of years after 2010.

We are given the value in the beginning as 200,000. We are also given scrap value (value at the end of period) as 10,000.

So we need to find a linear function with points (0, 200000) and (10,10000)

Let us find slope of our line using our given points.

m=\frac{10,000-200,000}{10-0}

m=\frac{-190,000}{10}

m=-19,000

Since we know that the slope-intercept form of equation is in form: y=mx+b, where,

m = Slope of line,  

b = The y-intercept or initial value.

We can see that initial value of machine is $200,000, so substituting m=-19,000 and b = 200,000, we will get our equation as:

V(t)=-19,000t+200,000

Therefore, the equation V(t)=-19,000t+200,000 represents the the textile machine's book value in the th year of use.

the sum of two numbers is 3 3/4 if 1/3 of the larger number is 1/2 more than 2/3 of the smaller find the number
Agata [3.3K]
Let us assume the larger number = x
Let us assume the smaller number = y
Then
x + y = 3 3/4
x + y = 15/4
And
x/3 = (2y/3) + 1/2
x = [3 * (2y/3)] + (3/2)
  = 2y + (3/2)
Now putting the value of x from the second equation to the first , we get
x + y = 15/4
2y + (3/2) + y = 15/4
3y = (15/4) - (3/2)
3y = (15 - 6)/4
3y * 4 = 9
12y = 9
y = 9/12
   = 3/4
Now putting the value of y in the first equation, we get
x + y = 15/4
x + (3/4) = (15/4)
x = (15/4) - (3/4)
   = (15 - 3)/4
   = 12/4
   = 3
So the value of x or the larger number is 3 and the value of y or the smaller number is 3/4.

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

A. x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 9 = 24

→ Minus 9 from both sides

3x = 15

→ Divide both sides by 3

x = 5
