Answer: In the last steps, instead of multiply each side by 3, he has to divide each side by 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, Tobin makes the mistake in the last steps.
3(x-1.25) = 11.25
3x-3.75= 11.25
3x-3.75+3.75= 11.25+3.75
3x = 15
Until this step is the work ok.
Now, instead of multiply each side by 3, he has to divide each side by 3:
So:
3x /3 = 15/3
x = 5

Answer: 30 m ; (or, write as: "30 meters") .
______________________________________________
Explanation:
____________________
Area of a trapezoid, "A" = (1/2) ( b₁ + b₂) h ;
______________________________________________
or, write as: A = ( b₁ + b₂) h / 2 ;
___________________________________
in which: A = area;
b₁ = length of "base 1" (choose either one of the 2 (two bases);
b₂ = length of "base 2" (use the base that is remaining);
h = height of trapezoid;
____________________________________________
From the information given:
___________________________
A = 100 m² ;
h = 5 m
b₁ = 10 m
b₂ = x
___________________________
Find "x", which is: "b₂" ;
__________________________
A = ( b₁ + b₂) h / 2 ;
_____________________________
Plug in our known values; and plug in "x" for "b₂" ; and solve for "x" ;
_________________________________________________________
100 m² = [(10m + x) (5m)] / 2 ; Solve for "x" ;
_________________________________________________________
(10m + x) (5m) = (2)* (100m²) ;
_________________________________________________________
(5m) (10m + x) = 200 m² ;
___________________________________________
Note: The distributive property of multiplication:
____________________________________________
a(b+c) = ab + ac ;
a(b−c) = ab <span>− ac ;
</span>____________________________________________
We have: (5m) (10m + x) = 200 m² ;
____________________________________________
So: (5m) (10m + x) = (5m*10m) + (5m * x) ;
= 50m² + (5m)x ;
_______________________________________________
→ 50m² + (5m)x = 200m² ;
_______________________________________________
Divide the ENTIRE equation by "5m" ;
_______________________________________________
→ { 50m² + (5m)x } / 5m = (200m² / 5m) ;
_______________________________________________
→ 10m + x = 40m ;
________________________________________________
Now, subtract "10m" from EACH side of the equation; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;
_______________________________________
→ 10m + x − 10m = 40m − 10m ;
to get:
→ x = 30 m ; which is our answer.

Answer: 30 m ; (or, write as: "30 meters") .

<u>Answer:</u>
$593.26
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We know that the price of the laptop is $2500 and each year its resale value decreases by 25%. It means that 100 - 25 = 75% of the value is retained every year for the resale.
So, the resale value for 1st year = 
$1875
for 2nd year = 
$1406.25
for 3rd year = 
$1054.7
for 4th year = 
$791.01
for 5th year = 
$593.25
Or we can use the following formula to find its resale value after 5 years:
$593.26
