13-4x=1-x
13=4x+x=1-x+x
13-3x=1
13-1-3x=1-1
12-3x=0
12=3x
12/3=3x/3
4=x
Therefore, x=4
To determine the number of cars that will be sold by the year 2020, we will use the equation,
N = (N1)(1 - r)^(t)
where N1 is the starting number of cars, r is the rate of the decrease, and t is the number of years from 2012. Substituting the konwn values,
N = (500)(1 - 0.028)^(8)
N = 398.38
The closest integer to the calculated value is 398. Thus, the answer is 398 cars.
Solution:
<u>Given:</u>
<u>Solve the equation by isolating the variable.</u>
- => 18 = 2b
- => 2b/2 = 18/2
- => b = 9
The value of b is 9.

Answer:
2 roots in every case, not all are real.
Step-by-step explanation:
All of these equations are quadratic equations (degree 2). Every quadratic has two roots. They may be identical (looks like 1 root), and they may be complex (zero real roots), but there are always 2 of them.
a) the y-value of the vertex is negative and the parabola opens downward (leading coefficient -5), so there are no real zeros and both roots are complex.
b) each binomial factor contributes a root. Both roots are real.
c) the discriminant is positive, (3²-4·2·1=1), so both roots are real.
