Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

131.5 or $131,500 is the starting value of the plane X before it started to depreciate.

Part B (They meant plane Y as in plane Y but plane B as in the second plane, look at the table and Part C)

b (m) = 177,233 (0.024)^m

$177,233 is the starting value of plane Y.

The value depreciates by 2.4% and that is the same as 0.024, except 0.024 is in decimal form.

Part C

b (t) = 177,233 (0.024 x 12)^t

b (t) = 177,233 (0.288)^t

I multiplied 12 by the depreciation because for the whole equation to actually show the depreciation in years I had to solve how much the plane would depreciate in 1 year. So, since 12 months is 1 year, I multiplied 12 by 0.024.

That's it! I hope I'm right because this took a lot of thinking lol

answer: 32.68

step-by-step explanation:

x=2

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
