Well, first, the equation that you are looking for is Y = MX + B. To find B, look at the first dot on the Y-axis. It starts at positive 3, so, you know your equation will end with +3. Next, to find MX, start at the either dot, and find the Rise/Run. In this particular equation, the rise is 1, and, the run is -2, because it's going backwards (negative line). Meaning, the line's equation would be, f( x )= -1/2x + 3.
Let the number be x
3x + 5 = 20
3x = 20 - 5
x = 15/3
x=5
Let be the two numbers. We have two pieces of information:
(the difference between the two numbers is 2)
(their product is 224)
From the first equation, we can deduce
If we plug this expression in the second equation, we have
If you solve this equation with the usual quadratic formula you get the solutions
So, you have the following couple of solutions, recalling that x is 2 more than y:
Answer:
$12,003.25.
Step-by-step explanation:
The boat's values after each year is $14,000 * (100-5)%, so
the equation is A = 14000(0.95)^3
= $12,003.25.
The prefix that means hundredth is centi
