The answer is 6. All you do is multiply the types of peanut butter with the type of jelly.
Answer:
x = 200
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply by 4:
x + 120 + 2x = 720
3x = 600 . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 120
x = 200 . . . . . . . divide by 3
_____
<em>Check</em>
(200/4 +30) +(200/2) = 180
(50 +30) + 100 = 180
80 + 100 = 180 . . . . . true
_____ _____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
If you like, you can simply work with the equation given.
(3/4)x + 30 = 180 . . . . collect terms
(3/4)x = 150 . . . . . . . . . subtract 30
x = 200 . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 4/3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So the initial value of the business computer is $20,000. It depreciates by 15% per year. This is exponential decay. The standard function for exponential decay is:
Where <em>P </em>is the initial value, <em>r</em> is the rate of decay, and <em>t</em> is the time in years.
Since the computer decreases by 15% per year, this means that each year, the computer will be 1-15% or 85% than its previous value.
Therefore, the equation that models the value of the computer is:
Subtract the second equation from the first equation.
x = -1
Plug -1 back in to either equation and solve for y.
3(-1) + y =-10
-3 + y = -10
Add 3 to both sides
y = -7
CHECK
3(-1) -7 = -10
2(-1) -7 = -9
(-1, -7)
