Since it decreases by 36 each year, the change would be 36+36+36+36=36*4=144
For a, we can plug in values for t, so 2000-(200*1)=1800 for the first year,
2000-(200*2)=1600 - do you see the pattern here? It subtracts by 200 every year, so 1600-200=1400 for the third year and 1400-200=1200 for the fourth year.
The correct answer is 24 mpg (rounded).
Hope this helps.
Answer:
U think it's 2.4
Step-by-step explanation:
.48 ÷by 4 =2
20% of 12=2.4
+2400-1650-725= 25
The answer is A. gained 25ft.
I actually posted this a while ago and it got answerd by a smart person so here's what I understood
the error is that it assumes that √(x²)=x
because if x is negative, it becomes positive
that's how the 2nd line is wrong
the 2nd line is the first wrong step
it goes from 4-9/2+9/2
so it goes from 4-4.5+4.5
notice the part under the parenthsees
√((4-4.5)²)
if we evaluate 4-4.5, we get -0.5
but by squaring it we get 0.5
-0.5+4.5=4, yes
but when we square it we get
0.5+4.5=5, that is how it works
