2 answers:

8 0

Solution/ a=-38.
Since its a subtraction problem you need to add.
-9 + 9 cancels each other out which takes u back to 2a.
next you have to add -9 + -85 which gives you -94.
Now you have 2a = -94 and 2 divided by 94 gives you -38, and 2a cancels out so all u have left is "a" which gives you ur answer a=-38

Hi, it is very simples.

Look :

2a - 9 = -85

Pass the term -9 to the left side of equation, but changing the sinal

2a = -85 + 9

Sum -85 +9 = -76

Then,

2a = -76

Nos, pass the 2 dividing -76

a = -76 ÷ 2

a = - 38

This is the answer to the yours question

A new car is purchased for 17000 dollars. The value of the car depreciates at 12.25% per year. What will the value of the car be

Scilla [17]

Answer:

$P(t=14) = 17000 (1-0.1225)^{14}= 2728.404$

Step-by-step explanation:

for this case we have the following model for the cost of the car:

$P(t) = P_o (1-r)^t$

Where $P_o$ is the initial amount on this case 17000, t the amount of years after the initial year and r the depreciation rate on this case:

$r= \frac{12.25}{100}=0.1225$

And for t =14 we can replace into the equation and we got:

$P(t=14) = 17000 (1-0.1225)^{14}= 2728.404$

If there are an estimated 20,000 barrels of unknown reserves of oil, annual consumption of oil is 800 barrels, and it is estimat

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

20, 000

Step-by-step explanation:

For a duration of 50 years, the consumption will be equal to the product of annual consumption and the number of years hence 800*50=40, 000 barrels.

Since 20, 000 barrels are unknown and they are part if consumption in the next 50 years, then the known or proven reserves will be given by getting the difference between total consumption and unknown reserve, expressed as 40, 000-20, 000=20, 000 barrels.
