Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a,b,c,d,x represent the five integers in Ascending order.

Given;

The sum of five different positive integers is 320

a+b+c+d+x = 320 .......1

The sum of the greatest three integers in this set is 283

c+d+x = 283 .....2

The sum of the greatest and least integers is 119

a+x = 119 ......3

For the largest possible value;

From equation 3, if a is as low as 1,

x = 119-1 = 118

x = 118

For the least possible value;

Subtract equation 2 from 1

a+b = 320-283 = 37

We know that a cannot be higher than b, so the highest possible value of a is;

a = 37-b

a = 37- 19 = 37-19

a = 18

Substituting into equation 3

x = 119-18 = 101

Difference;

∆x = 118-101 = 17

Can you guys pls help me out with 16 and 17

Answer:

16. $ 4100

17. y = 10000 - 750x

Step-by-step explanation:

16)

As initial value is $ 5000, and salvage value is $ 500. That means in 5 years value decreased by 5000-500 = 4500 so ,

in 5 year value decreased =  4500

in 1 year value decreased =  4500/5 = 900

so per year 900 $ gets decreased from original price. So equation can be given as

V = 5000 - 900y

where V is value of a vehicle and y is number of year

So after 1 year value would be

V = 5000 - 900 x 1 = 5000 -900 = 4100 $

17)

initial cost of car = $ 10000

per year amount decreases by  =  $ 750

then equation can be given as

y = 10000 - 750x

where x is number of year and y is cost of car after x year.
