The answer is $11,092.63.

This could be calculated using the proportion. If the value of the car decreases by 15% each year, that means that after each year the value of the car is 85% of the value from the first year.

After 1st year:
$25,000 : 100% = x1 : 85%
x1 = $25,000 · 85% ÷ 100%
x1 = <span>$21,250

After 2nd year:
</span>$21,250 : 100% = x2 : 85%
x2 = $21,250 · 85% ÷ 100%
x2 = <span>$18,062.5
</span>
After 3rd year:
$18,062.5 : 100% = x3 : 85%
x3 = $18,062.5 · 85% ÷ 100%
x3 = $15,353.12

After 4th year:
$15,353.12 : 100% = x4 : 85%
x4 = $15,353.12 · 85% ÷ 100%
x4 = $13,050.15

After 5th year:
$13,050.15 : 100% = x5 : 85%
x5 = $13,050.15 · 85% ÷ 100%
x5 = $11,092.63

Therefore, the value of the car 5 years after it is purchased is <span>$11,092.63.</span>

Tomas is making trail mix using granola and walnuts. He can spend a total of $12 on the ingredients. He buys 3 pounds of
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The first error that Tomas made was added 6 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> represents the number of pounds of granola

y ----> represents the number of pounds of walnuts

we know that

The linear equation that represent this scenario is

2x+6y=12 -----> equation A

x=3 -----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

2(3)+6y=12

6+6y=12

Subtract 6 both sides

6+6y-6=12-6

6y=6

Divide by 6 both sides

6y/6=6/6

y=1

so

The number of pounds of walnuts is 1

therefore

The first error that Tomas made was added 6 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 6
