Honestly, I don't know the answer but I am did the middle school and I believe it is 2V=9.83 repeating. The 3 is repeating
After two years the value of the car would of gone down by $1,755 leaving the total amount the car is worth at 21,645
2 9 1
x x
3 4 3
The 2 and the 4 cross out each other making it a 1 and a 2
9 and 3 cross each other making it 1 and 3
The 3 and 3 cross out each other making 1 and 1
1 1 1
x x
1 2 1
making it 1/2
Let "a" and "b" represent the numbers of people on teams Alpha and Beta, respectively. The problem statement tells you
a = (1/4)b
b - 6 - 12 = a + 12
The first equation can be rewritten to give an expresion for b:
b = 4a
This can be substituted into the second equation to get
4a -18 = a +12
3a = 30
a = 10
There were originally 10 people on team Alpha.
I need help on this too!!!
