Your bike was originally purchased for $1,200. It loses about 8% of its original value each year. How many years have passed if the bike is now worth $479.56?

-12 > a

step-by-step explanation:

-11 > 1 + a

subtract 1 from each side

-11-1 > 1-1+a

-12 > a

twenty-six miles over two gallons because the proportion for the original 13 miles to one gallon would be written 13/1 and, doing the same thing to the top and bottom, i multiplied by 2 and got 26/2

yes, whats the problem?
