Hey there!

Let's first define our goal. Our goal here is to be able to isolate the variable, n, and solve for it by moving everything to the other side. We see that we have two sides of the equation, and by using the property of equality which states that whatever you do to one side you do to the other and the expression remains equal, we can solve this equation.

It looks like the only thing we have on the left side with n is that 6 1/2. In order to get rid of it, we must subtract it from both sides, because the property of equality states you must do the inverse operation.

We have:

n = 12 - 6 1/2

n = 5 1/2

Hope this helps!

a car purchased for $34,000 is expected to lose value, or depreciate, at a rate of 6% per year.using x for years and y for the v

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

$y = 34000(1-0.06) ^ t$

After 7.40 years it will be worth less than 21500

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is solved using a compound interest function.

This function has the following formula:

$y = P(1-n) ^ t$

Where:

P is the initial price = $ 34,000

n is the depreciation rate = 0.06

t is the elapsed time

The equation that models this situation is:

$y = 34000(1-0.06) ^ t$

Now we want to know after how many years the car is worth less than $ 21500.

Then we do y = $ 21,500. and we clear t.

$21500 = 34000(1-0.06) ^ t\\\\log(21500/34000) = tlog(1-0.06)\\\\t = \frac{log(21500/34000)}{log(1-0.06)}\\\\t = 7.40\ years.$

After 7.40 years it will be worth less than 21500

As a bicycle salesperson, Norman earns a fixed salary of $20 per week plus $6 per bicycle for the first 6 bicycles he sells, $12

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

A. I only

I. y>2x

Step-by-step explanation:

I. y>2x

He sold x bicycles last week and y bicycles this week, this week, he earned more than twice as much as he did last week. Therefore more than twice means greater than 2 x or

y>2x

II. y>x This is not true because y could be greater than x and less than twice of x (2x)

III. y>3 This is also not true because the least he would be earning would be $ 20 and he could get earn greater than 3 and less than $ 20 which would again be contradictory to the given statement
