The bottom two questions that correspond to the word problem... I don't get it

So basically, the first question after the word problem is asking you to write an equation to represent the value of Mama's car after a certain amount of years (t). Since the value of her car decreases by 3% each year, you could multiply 3% by the original value of her car, to find what 3% is, OR you could subtract 19,400 (the value of her car after 1 year) from 20,000 INSTEAD of multiplying 20,000 by 3%. 

Equation:  value=20,000 - 600t

To answer the next question, just plug it into the equation you created. 

500<20,000 - 600t

-19500< -600t

32.5>t
Final Answer: It would take at least 32 and 1/2 years for the value of Mama's car to be less than $500. 

Hope this helps!! :)
