Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, turn the word problem into an equation:

n(a number) was divided by 2

\frac{n}{2}

followed by this quotient beying multiplied by 4

\frac{n}{2}*4

the product was added to 9

\frac{n}{2}*4+9

the total sum was 25

\frac{n}{2}*4+9 = 25

use PEMDAS to solve the equation

subtract 9 on both sides

\frac{n}{2}*4 = 16

cancel the 2 and the 4 using factorization

n*2 = 16

divide 2 on both sides

n = 8

Prakash bought a new car at the dealership for $27,000. it is estimated that the value of the car will decrease 7% each year. wh
Dennis_Churaev [7]

The exponential function models the value v of the car after t years is V = 27000 * (0.93)^t

<h3>How to determine the exponential model?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Initial value, a = $27,000

Depreciation rate, r = 7%

The value of the car is then calculated as:

V = a * (1 -r)^t

Substitute known values

V = 27000 * (1 - 7%)^t

Evaluate the difference

V = 27000 * (0.93)^t

Hence, the exponential function models the value v of the car after t years is V = 27000 * (0.93)^t

Initially, there were equal amount of roses and tulips at a store. Each bouquet was made with 3 roses and 4 tulips. After the bo
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

12 bouquets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there be x number of roses and x number of tulips initially at the store.  Each bouquet was made with 3 roses and 4 tulips. Assume that y bouquets were made in total.

If each bouquet was made with 3 roses and 4 tulips, then y bouquets will be made with 3y roses and 4y tulips.

After the bouquets were all made, there were 30 roses and 18 tulips left in the store. This means, if we subtract number of roses that were used in bouquets from total number of roses, the result must be 30. Likewise, for tulips the result would be 18. This can be represented as:

x - 3y = 30                               Equation 1

x  - 4y = 18                                Equation 2

Subtracting Equation 2 from Equation 1, we get:

x - 3y - (x - 4y) = 30 - 18

x - 3y - x + 4y = 12

y = 12

Since y represents the number of bouquets made, we can conclude that 12 bouquets were made in the store.

Write the equation of a line that is parallel to {y=-\dfrac{5}{4}x+7}y=− 4 5 ​ x+7y, equals, minus, start fraction, 5, divided b
AlladinOne [14]

Write the equation of a line that is parallel to y=-5/4x + 7

Any line parallel to the given line will have the same slope. In an equation presented in the y-intercept form, the slope is always the coefficient of "x". In this case, the slope is -5/4 (meaning the next point is down 5, and 4 to the right).


Our equation so far looks like this: y = -5/4x + b

"b" represents the y-intercept. To solve for be, we will need to substitute values into x and y. The next piece of information it gives us is one of the points, or solutions, of the line. This means that since this point is on the line, we can use its x and y values to substitute.


x = -4

y= 1

y = -5/4x + b

1 = -5/4(-4) + b

1 = 5 + b

-4 = b


Final Answer: y = -(5/4)x -4

Find the perimeter of the figure
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

51

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey There!

To find the perimeter of any figure all you have to do is add up all of the side lengths

5+5+7+11+7+16=53

so the perimeter is equal to 51

Note: the 18 is from the bottom length of the figure

you would have to add the 5 and 11

the extra seven is from the very right side length
