Using substitution:
first you have to express one variable in terms of the other, in this we can express y in terms of x:
Since both expressions are equal to y, you have to equal both expressions like this:
Now you can solve the equation:
Knowing x=10, you can use any of the expressions we found before to find y. In this case I'm going to use y= -x+9 because it's simpler but boy should give you the same result
So, the answer is x=10 and y=-1
Answer: The car is 6.6 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to replace the values in the equation given:
Y = 1/2 (half the value)
A = 1 (total value)
r =10% = 0.10 (decimal form)
Replacing:
y = A(1-r)^t
1/2 = 1 (1-0.10)^t
Solving for t:
(1/2)/1 = 0.9^t
1/2 = 0.9^t
log 1/2 = log 0.9^t
log 1/2 = (t) log 0.9
(log 1/2)/ log 0.9 = t
6.57 =t
6.6 years (rounded)
She should have added 2 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 2.
2x -2 = 14
Add 2 to both sides:
2x = 16
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 8
You have 6 left 4×6=24 3/4=18 candy you ate
It would be r= t-3 / 4... first you divide both sides by 4 then subtract 3 from both sides
