Solve for y for both equations then equate and solve:

5x + 9y = 160
9y = 160 - 5x
y = 160/9 - 5/9x

9x + 8y = 202
8y = 202 - 9x
y = 202/8 - 9/8x

160/9 - 5/9x = 202/8 - 9/8x (common denominator is 72)

1280/72 - 40/72x = 1818/72 - 81/72x
1818/72 - 1280/72 = 81/72x - 40/72x
538/72 = 41/72x
538 = 41x
538/41 = x
x = 13 5/41

The dollar value of a car is a function f, . of the number of years, t, since the car was purchased. Thefunction is defined by t

Fofino [41]

Given the following question:

$f(t)=12000\times(\frac{3}{5})^t$

Part A:

I believe that the 12,000 tells us the orginal price of the car, or the price the car was purchased for. 12000 is the orginal price of the car.

Part B:

I believe that the 3/5 tells us the decline in value each year after the car has been purchased. Which is why t is the exponet is t was 2 you would have to multiply 3/5 by itself twice and then multiply it by 12000 which further decreases it's value. 3/5 represents the decline in value after T years.

Part C:

t = number of years

t = 3

$\begin{gathered} f(t)=12000\times\frac{3}{5^{}}^3 \\ \frac{3}{5}^3=\frac{3}{5}\times\frac{3}{5}\times\frac{3}{5} \\ \frac{3}{5}\times\frac{3}{5}=\frac{9}{25} \\ \frac{9}{25}\times\frac{3}{5}=\frac{27}{125} \\ 12000\times\frac{27}{125}=2592 \\ v=2592 \end{gathered}$

Value of the car after three years will be 2592.
