Answer:
the answer is 2/9
Step-by-step explanation:
x/y=2/9
y=9/2 x
 
        
             
        
        
        
 So for this problem, we will be using the exponential equation format, which is y = ab^x. The a variable is the initial value, and the b variable is the growth/decay.
Since our touchscreen starts off at a value of 1200, that will be our a variable.
Since the touchscreen is decaying in value by 25%, subtract 0.25 (25% in decimal form) from 1 to get 0.75. 0.75 is going to be your b variable.
In this case, time is our independent variable. Since we want to know the value 3 years from now, 3 is the x variable.
Using our info above, we can solve for y, which is the cost after x years.

In context, after 3 years the touchscreen will only be worth $506.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
8m-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets write this out in an equation.The plus means addition and the minus means subtraction.  
6m+2m-5
Since there is two things with the same variable we can combine them.
8m-5
That is as simple as it gets.
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
10/8 or 5/4 or 1 1/4 or 1.25 or 125 percent.
