If the sum of two numbers is x

Then the equation is like this:

a+b = x

Then it says one of the number is 12. Change either a or b into 12

12 + b =x

If we want to find the other number, we need the make it into the subject

b = x - 12

Hope that help.

 Y would be the other unknown number.
 
12 + Y = X

12-12+Y=X-12

Y=X-12

Answer:

-Exponential Decay

-Decay factor is (1-0.05)

Step-by-step explanation:

-Given that the number decreases by a defined rate each year from the initial size by 5%,

-This is an exponential decay function of the form:

y=Ae^{-rt}

Where:

y is the quantity/size after time t

A is the initial size

r is the rate of decay

-Our function can the be written as

y=45000e^{-0.05t}

Hence, the decay rate/factor is 0.05

#Alternatively

The exponential decay can be of the form:

y=ab^x

Where:

y is the size at time x, a is the initial size, x is time and b is the decay factor.

b is of the form b=(1-r),\ \  r=decay\  rate

y=ab^x\\\\y=45000(1-0.05)^x

Hence, the decay factor is (1-0.05)
