General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Alg</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
18/13 = 3/4x
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Divide both sides by 3/4: x = 24/13
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute: 18/13 = 3/4(24/13)
- Multiply: 18/13 = 18/13
Let the value of the car be represented by V and the amount of years by y.
This gives us the following formula:
V = 25,635 - 3000y
(This is because we start with a value of $25,635 and the value decreases by $3,000 every year 'y')
Now, we want to know when the car is worth $3,135, so we know V = 3,135
Now we can make up our equation:
25,365 - 3,000y = 3,135
Collecting terms gives us:
-3,000y = -22,500
Finally we divide by -3,000 to find 'y'
y = -22,500 / -3,000 = 7.5
Hence, the car will be worth $3,135 after 7.5 years.
