So for this problem, we will be using the exponential equation format, which is y = ab^x. The a variable is the initial value, and the b variable is the growth/decay.
Since our touchscreen starts off at a value of 1200, that will be our a variable.
Since the touchscreen is decaying in value by 25%, subtract 0.25 (25% in decimal form) from 1 to get 0.75. 0.75 is going to be your b variable.
In this case, time is our independent variable. Since we want to know the value 3 years from now, 3 is the x variable.
Using our info above, we can solve for y, which is the cost after x years.
In context, after 3 years the touchscreen will only be worth $506.
Option 2.
1. Simplify 7 + (12 - 9) + 7 × 3(8 - 5)
According to the Order of Operations, contents of parentheses are evaluated first. This gives
... 7 + 3 + 7 × 3 × 3
Then multiplication and division are performed left to right.
... = 7 + 3 + 21 × 3
... = 7 + 3 + 63
Followed by addition and subtraction left to right.
... = 10 + 63
... = 73
A Google search box can be relied upon to do the operations in the correct order.

2. When the expression is rewritten, a different result is obtained. This is because the operations indicated by the second set of parentheses are altered.
... (7 + 12) - 9 + (7 × 3)8 - 5
... = 19 - 9 + 21 × 8 - 5
... = 19 - 9 + 168 - 5
... = 10 + 168 - 5
... = 178 - 5
... = 173
In the first expression, both +8 and -5 are multiplied by 21. In the rewritten expression, only +8 is multiplied by 21.
