Q6. A business purchases a computer system for $3,000. The value of the system decreases at a rate of 15% per year. What is the computer system
value after 5 years?
A. $1,331
B. $1,771
C. $5,776
D. $6,034

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.

given the equation is 8+9z=-6, the first step would be to subtract the 8 from both sides:

8+9z-8=-6-8

since 8 minus 8 = 0, this would cancel out the 8. and since -6 minus 8 equals -14, the equation would look like this

9z = -14
