Answer:
The function, f(x) to model the value of the van can be expressed as follows;

Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we have;
The amount at which Amrita bought the new delivery van, PV = $32,500
The annual rate of depreciation of the van, r = -12% per year
The Future Value, f(x), of the van after x years of ownership can be given according to the following formula

Therefore, the function, f(x) to model the value of the van after 'x' years of ownership can be expressed as follows;

Answer:
75%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:Price of one taco = x; price of 2 tacos = 2xPrice of salad = $2.50Sales tax = 8% of the combined price of two tacos and a salad, namely .08(2x + 2.50)Tip = constant fee = $3.00Total bill = $13.80 Therefore the equation becomes
2x + 2.50 + .08(2x + 2.50) + 3 = 13.80 Solutions: 2x + 2.50 + .16x + .20 + 3 = 13.80 (using the distributive property to multiply 2x and 2.5 by .08).2.16x + 2.70 + 3 = 13.80 (combining like terms)2.16x + 5.70 = 13.80 (combining like terms)2.16x + 5.70 = 13.80 - 5.70 (subtraction property of equality)2.16x = 8.10x = 8.10/2.16 = 3.75 (division property of equality)
The cost of a single taco is $3.75
Answer:
13) 25 and 17
14) cupcakes = $5
brownies = $3
Step-by-step explanation:
13) you can set this up as equations
so x + y = 42
x-y = 8
solve simultaneously by subtracting from each other
2y = 34
y= 17
if y = 17
42 - 17 = 25 = x
14) set up as equations again
Ben 7c + 10b = 65
franklin 7c +7b = 56
subtract from eachother
3b = 9
b = $3
7c + 10(3) = 65
7c = 35
c = $5
If you simplify it is x^3-x^2-2x+ 24
