Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
DE / XY = EF / YZ
5 / 10 = 2x-1 / 14
cross-multiply:
10(2x-1) = 14(5)
20x - 10 = 70
20x = 80
x = 4
First year: the depreciation is (35/100) x 20000 = £7000; now the value of the car is £20000 - £7000 = £13000;
Second year: the depreciation is (35/100) x 13000 = £4550; the current value of the car is £13000 - £4550 = £8450.
