So basically, the first question after the word problem is asking you to write an equation to represent the value of Mama's car after a certain amount of years (t). Since the value of her car decreases by 3% each year, you could multiply 3% by the original value of her car, to find what 3% is, OR you could subtract 19,400 (the value of her car after 1 year) from 20,000 INSTEAD of multiplying 20,000 by 3%.
Equation: value=20,000 - 600t
To answer the next question, just plug it into the equation you created.
500<20,000 - 600t
-19500< -600t
32.5>t
Final Answer: It would take at least 32 and 1/2 years for the value of Mama's car to be less than $500.

Answer:
no can you help me
Step-by-step explanation:
1. We assume, that the number 118 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
<span>2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for. </span>
<span>3. If 118 is 100%, so we can write it down as 118=100%. </span>
<span>4. We know, that x is 47% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=47%. </span>
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 118=100%
2) x=47%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
118/x=100%/47%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for what is 47% of 118
118/x=100/47
<span>(118/x)*x=(100/47)*x - </span>we multiply both sides of the equation by x
<span>118=2.12765957447*x - </span>we divide both sides of the equation by (2.12765957447) to get x
<span>118/2.12765957447=x </span>
<span>55.46=x </span>
x=55.46
<span>now we have: </span>
<span>47% of 118=55.46</span>
