Question

The equation V = -2000t + 20,000 describes the value in dollars of a certain model of car after it is t years old. If a car is worth $14,000, find the age of the car.

Answer 1

Hi there

14000=-2000t+20000
Solve for t to find the age of the car
2000t=20000-14000
2000t=6000
T=6000/2000
T=3 years

Hope it helps

Answer: Three years

Explanation:

14000=-2000t+20000

Solve for t to find the age of the car

2000t=20000-14000

2000t=6000

T=6000/2000

T=3 years
