A+8/3 = 2/3
Or, (3a+8)/3 = 2/3 [taking LCM]
Or, 3a+8 = 2 [3 in both denominators are cancelled]
Or, 3a = 2-8
Or, a = -6/3
.•. a = -2,,
We can know from the pic
2x+38=90
so, x=26
It is at (2,4) hope it helps
Current value of the boat = $45000
Rate at which the value decrease = 8.5%
Value decreased after 1 year =
Hence, value becomes =
Value decreased after 2nd year =
Hence, value becomes =
Value decreased after 3 year =
Hence, value becomes =
So, value of the boat after 3 years becomes $34472.74
