Answer:

£1638.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

A car costs £5000 when new

Each year the value decreases by 20%.

Step two:

let us compute the worth in the next 5 years

year 1

worth= 5000- 0.2*5000

worth= 5000-1000

worth=  £4000

year 2

worth= 4000- 0.2*4000

worth= 4000-800

worth=  £3200

year 3

worth= 3200- 0.2*3200

worth= 3200-640

worth=  £2560

year 4

worth= 2560- 0.2*2560

worth= 2560-512

worth=  £2048

year 5

worth= 2048- 0.2*2048

worth= 2048-409.6

worth=  £1638.40

The person is wrong because after 5 years the car is worth  £1638.40

Randy, Sandy and Todd are my cousins and their combined age is 87 years. Randy is four times as old as Sandy, but Todd is actual
NISA [10]

Answer:

Randy is 48 years old

Sandy is 12 years old

Todd is 27 years old

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent their ages with the first letters of their names:

R + S + T = 87

R = 4 * S

T = 15 + S

Required

Determine their individual ages

We'll solve the above equations using substitution method of simultaneous equations

Substitute 15 + S for T and 4 * S for R in R + S + T = 87

This gives:

4 * S + S + 15 + S = 87

4 S + S + 15 + S = 87

Collect Like Terms

4 S + S + S = 87 - 15

6S = 72

Divide through by 6

S = 72/6

S = 12

<em>This implies that Sandy is 12 years old</em>

Substitute 12 for S in R = 4 * S and  T = 15 + S

R = 4 * 12

R = 48

T = 15 + 12

T = 27

<em>This implies that Randy is 48 years old and Todd is 27</em>

-6x+4y=-12 in slope intercept form
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

x= 2 /3 y+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for x.

−6x+4y=−12

Step 1: Add -4y to both sides.

−6x+4y+−4y=−12+−4y

−6x=−4y−12

Step 2: Divide both sides by -6.

−6x /−6 = −4y−12 /−6 x= 2 /3 y

=x= 2 /3 y+2
