Answer:
The correct answer is 5 years i.e. 2008.
Step-by-step explanation:
Price of the automobile in 2003 is $32000.
Depreciation per year is given by $1740.
Therefore let the car value is depreciated for t number of years.
Value depreciated for t years is given by $ (1740t).
The final value of the car after t years is given to be $23300.
Thus the equation is given by 32000 - 1740t = 23300.
⇒ 1740t = 32000 - 23300
⇒ 1740t = 8700
⇒ t = 5
Thus after 5 years the value of the car is $23300.
Thus in 2008 the depreciated price of the car would be $23300.
Answer:
Equation translates to 289 + y = 206
it solves to y = -83
====================================================
Explanation:
The "and y more" means we are adding y onto 289 to get the expression 289+y. This is set equal to 206 because of the term "is" in the original statement.
Therefore, "289 and y more is 206" translates fully to the equation 289+y = 206
This is the same as saying y+289 = 206
To isolate y, we undo what is happening to it. We are adding 289 to it, so we must subtract 289 from both sides
y+289 = 206
y+289-289 = 206-289
y = -83
So we are adding -83 to 289 to get 206
