We are required to compare the magnitude for two earthquake intensity:
the larger intensity is 7.9
the smaller intensity is 3.7
thus the ratio of the intensity will be:
(larger intensity)/(smaller intensity)
=7.9/3.7
=2.135
~2
Thus we conclude that:
The larger earthquake's intensity was 2 times as great as the smaller earthquake's intensity.
Since it is an isosceles trapezoid;
AB=CD which means;
5y-3=6y-17
get the variables to one side and you get:
-3=y-17
Then add 17 to both sides and
14=y
Therefore y=14 is your answer

Answer:
This is a guess!
When looking at the given equation I can not help but think of compound interest. So I am going to convert this into that format.

Within the context of financial interest:
Looking for:
P
(
1
−
x
)
n
Where P is the principle sum,
x
is the interest and n is the number of interest cycles (annual)

Given:
y
=
5100
(
0.95
)
x
But
0.95
=
1
−
0.05
so we have
y
=
5100
(
1
−
0.05
)
x
But
.
0.05
=

So we have
y
=
5100
(
1
−
5

)
x
Thus the percentage change each year is
−

%
