A new car worth $27,000 is depreciating in value by $3,000 per year.

Complete parts

a. through b. below.

a. Write a formula that models the car's value, y, in dollars, after x years.

y = 0

Answer: Y=24000-3000x

9000=24000-3000x

-15000=-3000x

x=5 years

first we need to set the equation

at plug in all the information we have. In our case, we know cars value or y = 9000, we need to find what is the x value

2

we need to subtract 24000 on both sides, and then divide by - 3000 on both sides, and find out for x in years
