Ok so first, write down the equation. We know that x=3 and y=4. You just basically plug in the terms into the variables. So it would be 3(3)+1/4(4)^2. Simplify that equation and you should get your answer :)
Percentage of depreciation of the car that Marie bought = 15%
Present value of the car = 13000
Let us assume that the value of the car at the time of buying = x
So
The percentage valuation of the car now = (100 - 15) percent
= 85 percent
Then
(85/100) * x = 13000
85x = 13000 * 100
85x = 1300000
x = 1300000/85
= 15294.12
So the actual cost of the car is 15294.12. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
x represents how many miles after the pick-up. we add on 3.50 because that is the intial pick-up price. then the cost has to be under 30 because she only has 30 dollars
There is no solutions to these linear equations. in order to find how many solutions there are, you first need to solve for the first variable in one of the equations, then substitute the result into the other equation. since both equations are almost the same and the same format, it won't have any solutions.
hope this helped, God bless!
