Ben buys a car for $50,000. The value of the car decreases at a rate of 4% per year. How much will the car be worth in 3 years?

1 answer:

5 0

FOR THE FIRST YEAR
4/100×50000 = 2000
50,000 - 2000 = 48000
FOR THE SECOND YEAR
4/100 × 48000 = 1920
48000-1920 = 46080
FOR THE THIRD YEAR
4/100 × 46080 = 1843.2
46080-1843.2 = 44236.2

Callie has a new kitten. They can weigh 3 pounds less than half the weight of Callie‘s cat. Together the cat and kitten weigh 18

gavmur [86]

Answer:

The weight of cat is 14 pounds and the weight of kitten is 4 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Callie has a new kitten. It can weigh 3 pounds less than half the weight of Callie‘s cat. Together the cat and kitten weigh 18 pounds.

Now, to find the weight of each animal:

Let the cat's weight be $x.$

And the kitten weight = $\frac{x}{2} -3$

Total weight of cat and kitten = 18 pounds.

Now, to set an equation to get the weight of each animal:

$(x)+(\frac{x}{2}-3)=18$

$x+\frac{x}{2} -3=18$

$\frac{2x+x-6}{2} =18$

$\frac{3x-6}{2} =18$

Multiplying both sides by 2 we get:

$3x-6=36$

Adding both sides by 6 we get:

$3x=42$

Dividing both sides by 3 we get:

$x=14\ pounds.$

The weight of cat = 14 pounds.

Substituting the value of $x$ to get the kitten's weight:

$\frac{x}{2} -3\\\\=\frac{14}{2}-3\\\\=7-3\\\\=4.$

The kitten's weight = 4 pounds.

Therefore, the weight of cat is 14 pounds and the weight of kitten is 4 pounds.

Solve |-4b-8|+|-1-b^2|+2b^3. b= -2 show steps please .

evablogger [386]

Ok, first put in the -2 for each b. That gives:
|-4(-2)-8|+|-1(-(-2))^2|+2(-2)^3
Let's do each section.
The first section is |-4(-2)-8)|
-4 times -2 is 8, minus 8 is 0. The absolute value of 0 is still 0.
Now we move on to |-1(-(-2))^2)|
First we do exponents
-(-2) is 2, and 2^2 is 4. 4 times -1 is -4. The absolute value of -4 is 4
Now the last section, 2(-2)^3
Exponents first: (-2)^3 is -2 * -2 * -2, which is -8.
-8*2=-16.
0+4+(-16)=-12

Solve the following system of equations by elimination

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

y = -6

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

-x + 2y = -13

-x - 2y = 11

Sum the equations:

-x -x = -2x

+2y - 2y = 0

-13 + 11 = -2

then

-2x = -2

x = -2/-2

x = 1

from the first eq.

-x + 2y = -13

-1 + 2y = -13

2y = -13 + 1

2y = -12

y = -12/2

y = -6

check:

from the second eq.

-x -2y = 11

-1 -(2*-6) = 11

-1 -(-12) = 11

-1 + 12 = 11
