Describe two different ways to solve: -10=1/4(8y-12)

There are two ways to approach this question. The first is to divide both sides of the equation by 1/4, which is the same as multiplying by 4.
4*(-10)=4*(1/4)(8y-12)
-40=1(8y-12)
-40=8y-12
-40+12=8y-12+12
-28=8y
-28/8=8y/8
-3.5=y
Another method is to distribute 1/4 to each term within the parentheses.
-10=8y*(1/4) - 12*(1/4)
-10=2y - 3
-10+3=2y - 3 +3
-7=2y
-7/2= 2y/2
-3.5=y
I hope this is helpful!

 1)Rewrite the table:
70,  49,  34.3,  24.01,  11.807 {The original size of the wound =70}

2) write the quotient of each number by the number before & notice the value:

49/70= 0.7
34.3/49 = 0.7
24.01/34.3 =0.7
16.0807/24.01 = 0.67 ≈0.7
You notice this is a geometric progression with r 0.7
The last term in a GP =ar^⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾


3) Domain and Range of this function:
Last term = a₁.rⁿ⁻¹. let last term be y==> f(n) = y =70(0.7)ⁿ⁻¹
or f(n) = y = 70(0.7)ⁿ / 0.7==> f(n) = [(0.7)ⁿ ]/ 100.
This is a decreasing exponential function where the coefficient
raised to n is < 1.
The domain is for all n>= 0.
When n→∞, f(n)→0; For n=0==>f(n) =70. So the range of f(n) is:<=70
