i suppose that t is an exponent. so let: v(t)=final prize of the scooter...t=time in years.....p=initial prize of the scooter . r= rate of depreciation per year so v(t)=p(1-r)^t....
Answer: 1045 cm of red ribbon and 1045 cm of yellow ribbon
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let R represent the amount red ribbon and Y represent the amouont of yellow ribbon.
- bought the same lengths of red and yellow: R = Y
- after used 286 of red, yellow is 5 times the remaining red; 5(R - 836) = Y
Use substitution method to solve:
5(R - 836) = R
5R - 4180 = R <em>distributed 5 on the left side</em>
4R - 4180 = 0 <em>subtracted R from both sides</em>
4R = 4180 <em>added 4180 to both sides</em>
R = 1045 <em>divided both sides by 4</em>
