5x + 4x = 720
9x = 720 (divide by 9)
X= 80
In order to get the bigger ratio, which is 5, you would substitute x for 80. (I'm bad at explaining)
Work:
5(80)= 400
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Marcos purchased a sailboat for 
Each year the boat will decrease in value by 
After 1 year it is
after another year it becomes
After 
years it is
Using the pairs (1,32) and (2,64) the rate of speed is (64-32 / 2-1 = 32 feet per second.
To find the rate of decent you would multiply the rate by time:
The equation is y = 32x
B. Replace x with 15 and solve for y:
Y = 32(15)
Y = 480
The rate of speed is 480 feet per second.
