Answer:

$7,986.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the following formula to solve:

A=P(1-r)^t

<em>P = principal value</em>

<em>r = rate (decimal)</em>

<em>t = time (years)</em>

<em />

First, change 15% into a decimal:

15% -> \frac{15}{100} -> 0.15

Since 2015 and 2020 are 5 years apart, we will use 5 for t. Now, plug the values into the equation:

A=17,999(1-0.15)^5

A=7,986.25

Your car would be worth $7,986.25

The sum of two numbers is 52. The greater number is 4 more than the smaller number. Which equation can be used to solve for the
Arisa [49]

Answer:

x+(x+4)=52

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's name the smaller number x.

The greater number would then be (x+4).

<em>The sum of two numbers means we are adding them together.</em>

<u>The equation we could then set up would be:</u>

x+(x+4)=52

<em>Now we can solve the equation to find the two numbers if needed.</em>

<u>Here is how:</u>

x+x+4=52

Combine like terms.

2x+4=52

Subtract 4 from both sides.

2x=48

Divide both sides by 2

x=24

The smaller number is 24.

24+4=28

The larger number is 28.
