Answer:x=1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

5/6-x=1/2

5/6+-x=1/2

-x+5/6=1/2

Step 2: Subtract 5/6 from both sides.

-x+5/6-5/6=1/2-5/6

-x=-1/3

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.

-x/-1=-1/3/3

X=1/3

Hope this helps

The question mark equals 1/3

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

5/6-?=1/2 so convert 1/2 into sixths so

5/6-?=1/2(3/3) so

5/6-?=3/6 (multiply both sides by 6)

5-5(?)=3 (add 6(?) to both sides)

5=3+6(?) (subtract 3 from both sides)

2=6(?) (divide by 6)

?=2/6 or

1/3

Barbara made a bad investment. Rather than earning interest, her money is decreasing in value by 11% each week! After just one w
pochemuha

Answer: She started with $160.

It will take 6 weeks before she has less than half of what she originally invested.

Step-by-step explanation:

If her money is decreasing in value by 11% each week, it means that the rate at which it is decreasing is exponential.

We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as

A = P(1 - r)^t

Where

A represents the value of the investment after t weeks.

t represents the number of weeks.

P represents the initial value of the investment.

r represents rate of depreciation.

From the information given,

A = $142.40

r = 11% = 11/100 = 0.11

t = 1

Therefore

142.40 = P(1 - 0.11)^1

142.40 = P(0.89)

P = 142.4/0.89

P = 160

For her to have half of what she invested originally, then

80 = 160(0.89)^t

80/160 = (0.89)^t

0.5 = (0.89)^t

Taking log of both sides to base 10

Log 0.5 = log0.89^t = tlog0.89

- 0.3010 = - 0.051t

t = - 0.3010/- 0.051

t = 5.9

Approximately 6 weeks
