9 x 8= 72, so the answer would be:
72
So for this problem, we will be using the exponential equation format, which is y = ab^x. The a variable is the initial value, and the b variable is the growth/decay.
Since our touchscreen starts off at a value of 1200, that will be our a variable.
Since the touchscreen is decaying in value by 25%, subtract 0.25 (25% in decimal form) from 1 to get 0.75. 0.75 is going to be your b variable.
In this case, time is our independent variable. Since we want to know the value 3 years from now, 3 is the x variable.
Using our info above, we can solve for y, which is the cost after x years.

In context, after 3 years the touchscreen will only be worth $506.
Answer: 8
Explanation: Without the discount, 8 frozen yogurts for $4 will come to $32. Deduct $2 from the total cost (32-2), and now they're paying $30.
Answer:
x=24
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2x+2 = 1/2x^2+8
1/2x^2=1/4x
1/2x+2=1/4x+8
1/2x -1/4x =0.25x
0.25x+2=8
8-2=6
0.25x=6
0.25/6 = 24
x=24
