<u>Answer:</u>
$593.26
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We know that the price of the laptop is $2500 and each year its resale value decreases by 25%. It means that 100 - 25 = 75% of the value is retained every year for the resale.
So, the resale value for 1st year = 
$1875
for 2nd year = 
$1406.25
for 3rd year = 
$1054.7
for 4th year = 
$791.01
for 5th year = 
$593.25
Or we can use the following formula to find its resale value after 5 years:
$593.26
Answer:
With an enlargement the scale factor would be greater than zero. With a reduction the scale factor would be a fraction or maybe even a decimal.
Answer:
x-y
Step-by-step explanation:
X is greater than y so we are subtracting the smaller number from the bigger number
That means we do not need the absolute value signs since x-y will be positive
|x-y| when x> y
x-y
Using numbers
| 5-2| 5>2
5-2
Answer:3.1875
Step-by-step explanation: Simplifying
-3 + 8 + -8(7 + -2a) = 0
-3 + 8 + (7 * -8 + -2a * -8) = 0
-3 + 8 + (-56 + 16a) = 0
Combine like terms: -3 + 8 = 5
5 + -56 + 16a = 0
Combine like terms: 5 + -56 = -51
-51 + 16a = 0
Solving
-51 + 16a = 0
Solving for variable 'a'.
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '51' to each side of the equation.
-51 + 51 + 16a = 0 + 51
Combine like terms: -51 + 51 = 0
0 + 16a = 0 + 51
16a = 0 + 51
Combine like terms: 0 + 51 = 51
16a = 51
Divide each side by '16'.
a = 3.1875
Simplifying
a = 3.1875
