7 watermelons cost $8.96.Which equation would help determine the cost of the 5 watermelons?

According to the definition, the volume is indicated by
V = h * w * l
where
V: Volume
h: height
w: width
l: length
By solving for height, we get:
h = V / (w * l)
h = (5 - x) / ((x) * (x - 2))
The expression is undefined for x values that cause the denominator to equal zero:
((x) * (x - 2)) = 0
x = 0
x = 2
Answer
h = (5 - x) / ((x) * (x - 2))
x = 0
x = 2

Response:

Depreciation as of December 31, Year 1 will amount to $1,250

Detailed explanation:

Cost of Purchase = $28,000

Salvage Value = $3,000

Total Depreciation:

The total depreciation over 5 years (60 months) is calculated as Purchasing Cost minus Salvage Value

Total Depreciation over 5 years (60 months) = 28,000 - 3,000

Total Depreciation over 5 years (60 months) equals $25,000

Calculating Monthly Depreciation:

Monthly depreciation is derived from the overall depreciation divided by the total number of months as follows:

Total Depreciation for a single month = 25,000/60

Depreciation per month = 416.67$ (Monthly Depreciation)

Depreciation until December 31, Year 1

As this spans from September 1 to December 31 of Year 1, three months have passed, yielding total depreciation = 3 * Monthly Depreciation

Thus, Depreciation as of December 31, Year 1 = 3 * 416.67

Total Depreciation by December 31, Year 1 = $1,250
