<h3><u>The function that represents the price P of the car after x years is:</u></h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>The decreasing function is given as:</u></em>

Where,
y is future value
a is initial value
r is decreasing rate in decimal
t is time period
From given,
a = 25000

number of years = x
future value = P
Therefore,

Thus the function is found
If you would like to solve the system of equations, you can do this using the following steps:
5p - 3r = 1 /*2
8p + 6r = 4
__________
10p - 6r = 2
<span>8p + 6r = 4
</span>__________
10p - 6r + 8p + 6r = 2 + 4
18p = 6
p = 6/18
p = 1/3
<span>5p - 3r = 1
</span>5 * 1/3 - 3r = 1
5/3 - 3r = 1
5/3 - 1 = 3r
5/3 - 3/3 = 3r
2/3 = 3r
r = 2/9
(p, r) = (1/3, 2/9)
The correct result would be <span>(1/3, 2/9)</span>.
Solution:
1) Simplify \frac{1}{6}x to \frac{x}{6}
y=\frac{x}{6}-2
2) Add 2 to both sides
y+2=\frac{x}{6}
3) Multiply both sides by 6
(y+2)\times 6=x
4) Regroup terms
6(y+2)=x
5) Switch sides
x=6(y+2)
Done!
