Answer: 22.5 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a total of 20 parts yarn. This means that 3/20 of the carpet is silver. So in order to compare this to the 150 meters of total yarn, you would set up this equation:
3/20 = x/150
Next, you cross multiply:
3*150 = 20*x or simplified would be 450 = 20x
Next, you divide both sides by 20 to get x by itself.
450/20 = 22.5, so x is equal to 22.5
This means you have 22.5 yards of silver in the carpet.

Answer:
$38.8
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find how much money he gets paid in a day. Multiply 8 x .97, which equals $7.76. Then, multiply $7.76 x 5 to see how much he gets paid in 5 days. $7.76 x 5= $38.8
Hope this helps!
Substitution is where we first Isolate one of the unknowns, express it in terms of the other unknown, and replace the isolated unknown with the other unknown in another equation. So that each time we only need to deal with one unknown. I think you'll get a better idea here:
First name these 2 equations with 1 and 2.
4x + 5y = 7 (1)
y = 3x + 9 (2)
Since y is already isolated in (2), so we can skip the isolation step and continue to substitute.
Substitute (2) into (1).
4x + 5(3x+9) = 7
Expand.
4x + 15x + 45 = 7
Group.
19x + 45 = 7
Shift +45 to the other side and turn it into -45.
19x = 7 - 45
19x = -38
Shift x19 to the other side, turn it into /19.
X = - 38/19
X = - 2
Now we solved x already, we can just substitute x= - 2 back to equation (2).
y = 3(-2) + 9
y = - 6 + 9
y = 3
So, the answers are
x = - 2
y = 3
Hey there!
When the value of something goes down over time- a house, a car, anything- it's called depreciation.
It would be expressed as exponential decay. This is because the value is going down exponentially as stated in the problem. Additionally, when it decays, the growth factor is less than one, so the value steadily decreases.
Let's rule out our other options:
B) Half-Life. This doesn't work because it's usually used for radioactive decay, which is usually a steady decrease of radioactivity and material that divides by two, hence the word half. For example:
Day 0) Started with 10 grams of plutonium
Day 1) 5 grams
Day 2) 2.5 grams
And so on.
C) Compound Interest. Like simple interest, but compunds usually at a certain point - yearly, monthly, every ten years, and so on. But, this is used for interest, mostly in a bank account or if you have a loan. It doesn't exhibit depreciation, and therefore it's not used to predict car value.
D) Exponential Growth- Exponential growth does not work for one main reason - it grows. That would mean that the value of the car goes up- and unless it's an old and very expensive car, that wouldn't be the case.
Hope this helps!
