Answer:
a. .15 b. 5.40
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi! The first thing you want to do is find the unit rate, which would be 9 divided by 60. This should be 15 cents per hour. Next, for the second part, you multiply by 36, which should be $5.40. Hope this helps!
Hi there! Her mistake is in step 1.
She subtracted -25 by 25. -25 - 25 = -50
What she SHOULD have done was add 25 to each side. This obeys the property of reciprocals.
-25 + 25 = 0
Hope this helps.

Answer:
7 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The depreciation rate of 12% using the declining balance method means the car is worth 12% less at the end of the year than it was worth at the beginning. That is, each year the value is multiplied by (1 -12%) = 0.88. So, after n years, the value has been multiplied by 0.88^n.
We want to find n such that ...
7600 = 18600·0.88^n
7600/18600 = 0.88^n
log(76/186) = n·log(0.88)
log(76/186)/log(0.88) = n ≈ 7.00
It will take 7 years for the value of the car to decline to $7600.

<em>Comment on declining balance depreciation</em>
Often, you will see declining balance depreciation specified in terms of an acceleration factor (often 150% or 200% ("double declining balance")) and a useful life. As with any depreciation, what is depreciated is the difference between the initial value and the salvage value. The percentage rate quoted above is essentially calculated as ...
(acceleration factor)/(useful life) = depreciation rate per year
One way to get a 12% depreciation rate is using an acceleration factor of 150% and a useful life of 12.5 years (with a salvage value of 0).
First we substitute, what that means in here is that 2(c +3)
Or minus I can't see the sign but what we do is we substitute 2 with c so that becomes 2c and 2 with 3 and that becomes 6 which gives us 2c + 6 = c-13
Now we can either add 13 on both sides or subtract 6 on both sides, we can do this because they are like terms even if they are negative because they don't have any variable behind it. We will add 13 because we do the opposite of the sign you are solving some get 2c + 19 = c now we subtract 2c on both sides and we get 19 = -1c and at the end we divide -1 on both side and we get -19 = c or
c = -19.
