A semicolon is used to separate variables from parameters. that we are defining a function of the parameters that returns a function of the variables.
First, put parenthesis around the first two numbers and the last two numbers.
(20g³+24g²) (-15g-18)
Then, take out the greatest common factor of both parenthesis.
4g²(5g+6)-3(5g+6)
You then separate the numbers outside the parenthesis and the numbers in the parenthesis.
(5g+6) (4g²-3)
Then you simplify the second set of numbers. Since the set of numbers can't be simplified, you would leave this problem as it is. I hope this makes sense.
Answer:
Correct, as 4 is the only number repeating twice
Percentage of depreciation of the car that Marie bought = 15%
Present value of the car = 13000
Let us assume that the value of the car at the time of buying = x
So
The percentage valuation of the car now = (100 - 15) percent
= 85 percent
Then
(85/100) * x = 13000
85x = 13000 * 100
85x = 1300000
x = 1300000/85
= 15294.12
So the actual cost of the car is 15294.12. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
