Straight line depreciation, the value of the car is given by the following equation, where V is the value of the car, and O is the original value of the car, and x is the number of years since buying the car. V=O-2x This equation follows the form of a straight line, that is: y=mx+b
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
5.1+2.3x=23.5
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
2.3x+5.1=23.5
Step 2: Subtract 5.1 from both sides.
2.3x+5.1−5.1=23.5−5.1
2.3x=18.4
Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.3.
2.3x
2.3
=
18.4
2.3
x=8
Answer:
x=8
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
The ratio of the length to the width is 

.
The ratio of the sides will be the same for the scale and actual figures.

I took the L/W of the scale figure
and set it equal to the L/W of the actual figure.
Now we can solve for the unknown width.
Cross-multiplication gives us this,

Divide by 2.4 and simplify,

Hope that helps! :)
