The value at the end of the year is 100% - 20% = 0.80 of the value at the beginning of the year. After 4 years of multiplying by this factor, the value is
$17,500·0.80⁴ = $7,168

Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
1. use the distance formula!

2. then using the distance formula with (2, 7) and (-6, -2) you get...




is the simplest radical form
:D
Isolate the x. Subtract 4x from both sides, and add 2 to both sides
2x (-4x) - 2 (+2) > 4x (-4x) + 6 (+2)
2x - 4x > 6 + 2
Simplify. Combine like terms
-2x > 8
Isolate the x. Divide -2 from both sides. Note that you are <em>dividing a negative number</em>. When doing so, flip the sign.
-2x/-2 > 8/-2
x > 8/-2
x < -4
x < -4, or (1) is your answer
hope this helps
