A construction company buys a bulldozer for $26,000. The company expects the useful life of the machine to be 12 years, at which

time its value will have depreciated to $6000. The company uses the declining balances method for depreciation, so the annual depreciation rate r (in decimal form) is given by the formula r=1−(S/C)^1/n . In the formula, n is the useful life of the item (in years), S is the salvage value (in dollars), and C is the original cost (in dollars). What annual depreciation rate (in percent form) did the company use? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

  11.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the given numbers in the formula and do the arithmetic.

  r = 1 - (6000/26000)^(1/12) = 1 -(3/13)^(1/12) ≈ 1 -0.88498 ≈ 11.5%

The company used a depreciation rate of 11.5%.

Michael Chan leaves a dock in his motorboat and travels at an average speed of 9 mph toward the Isle of Shoals, a small island o
horsena [70]

Since the motor boat left the dock 2 hours before the tour boat, their meeting point will be 27 miles from the dock from which both boats departed after 3 hours.

<h3>What is the distance?</h3>

Distance is the movement of an object regardless of direction. The distance can be defined as the amount of length an object has covered, regardless of its starting or ending position

We know that r × t = d

r = rate of speed

t = time

d = distance

For the motor boat

9 × t = d = rate × time

For the tour boat

27 × (t - 2) = d = rate × time

When they both cover the same distance in the same amount of time, they will eventually cross paths.

They both cover the same d-mile distance, so:

9 ×t = 27 × (t - 2)

Simplify to get:

9 × t = 27 × t - 54

18 t = 54

t = 3

The motor boat will have traveled at 9 mph for 3 hours to make a distance of 9 × 3 = 27 miles.

The tour boat will have traveled at 27 mph for 1 hour to make a distance of 1 × 27 = 27 miles.

Since the motor boat left the dock 2 hours before the tour boat, their meeting point will be 27 miles from the dock from which both boats departed after 3 hours.

6(x-2)=5x+3x+8 solve for x.
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

 6 • (x - 2) -  (8x + 8)  = 0

Pulling out like terms :

3.1     Pull out like factors :

  -2x - 20  =   -2 • (x + 10)

Equation at the end of step  3  :

 -2 • (x + 10)  = 0

Equations which are never true :

4.1      Solve :    -2   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

4.2      Solve  :    x+10 = 0

Subtract  10  from both sides of the equation :

                     x = -10

One solution was found :

                  x = -10
