You are buying a used car which costs $12,000. You plan to sell the car after keeping it for 5 years. Research shows that this car will lose value at a rate of 8% per year. How much will the car be worth after 5 years?

$8

step-by-step explanation:

it is pretty much backwards.

you take the 4x2 multiply that, and that is = $8

both equations and proportions are better.

ghhajnwsrm54 m,kle6td,8-by-step explanation:

in order to find the gcf of two numbers, first you need to find the prime factorization of each of the numbers. after you divide out the numbers as much as you can, you get:

36 = 2x2x3x3

84 = 2x2x3x7

from there, you can see which prime factors the two numbers have in common: 2, 2, and 3. then, you multiply the factors together to get 2x2x3=12.

you can double check this by dividing the two initial numbers by 12 to make sure 12 is a factor of them:

36/12 = 3

84/12 = 7

in your explanation, you pretty much give the definition of greatest common factors: that out of all the whole factors that 36 and 84 have in common, 12 has the greatest value.

hope this !
