Answer:

x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

−3(7−2x)+3=8x−10

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−3(7−2x)+3=8x−10

(−3)(7)+(−3)(−2x)+3=8x+−10(Distribute)

−21+6x+3=8x+−10

(6x)+(−21+3)=8x−10(Combine Like Terms)

6x+−18=8x−10

6x−18=8x−10

Step 2: Subtract 8x from both sides.

6x−18−8x=8x−10−8x

−2x−18=−10

Step 3: Add 18 to both sides.

−2x−18+18=−10+18

−2x=8

Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.

−2x

−2

6x+−18=8x−10

6x−18=8x−10

Step 2: Subtract 8x from both sides.

6x−18−8x=8x−10−8x

−2x−18=−10

−2x−18+18=−10+18

−2x=8

Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.

The initial cost of an office fax machine is $100. After 1 year, its value becomes $80. Which is the correct linear depreciation

Elis [28]

Answer:

$y=100-20x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the x-axis be the time (in years) and the y-axis the value of the fax machine (in dollars).

We know that the initial value of the fax machine is $100; in other words, when the time is zero years, the value is $100, or as an ordered pair (0, 100). We also know that after 1 year the value decreases to $80, so (1, 80).

Now we can find the slope of the line passing through those two points using the slope formula

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

where

$m$ is the slope

$(x_1,y_1)$ are the coordinates of the first point

$(x_2,y_2)$ are the coordinates of the second point

Replacing values:

$m=\frac{80-100}{1-0}$

$m=-20$

Now, to complete our model we are using the point slope formula

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

where

$m$ is the slope

$(x_1,y_1)$ are the coordinates of the first point

Replacing values:

$y-100=-20(x-0)$

$y-100=-20x$

$y=-20x+100$

$y=100-20x$

We can conclude that the correct linear depreciation model is $y=100-20x$
