Answer:
y=4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
5y−14=2y−2
Step 1: Subtract 2y from both sides.
5y−14−2y=2y−2−2y
3y−14=−2
Step 2: Add 14 to both sides.
3y−14+14=−2+14
3y=12
Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.
3y/3=12/3
y=4

Speed of the ship in the second hour = (62.5 * x ) / 100 kph.
In third hour it is [(62 * x) / 100 ] * x/100]
is 4th hour its is the above * x/100 again so we can now form the equation
62.5x x x
------- * ---- * ---- = 32
100 100 100
62,5 x^3 = 32,000,000
x^3 = 512,000
x = 80 <----- Answer to (a)
(b) Ship travels 62.5 in first hour then this falls by a common ratio of 0.8 each hour so we have a geometric sequence
Dist travelled in 6 hours = a1 1 - r^n
-------- = 62.5* (1 - 0.8^6) / 1 -0.8 = 230.56
1 - r
Answer is 230.56 km
I'm assuming the 59% achievement means, markup, so hmmmm well, if the bananas cost him $0.24 or 24cents per pound, so a markup of 59% is just 59% of 0.24 then.
whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.
therefore, 59% of 0.24 is just (59/100) * 0.24, or 0.1416.
so, if we add 0.1416 to the 0.24, the selling price will be 0.3816, or just 38cents per pound of bananas.
