the car's value be $17,820.00?
a) Write an equation to model the problem. Let t represent the number of years after 2003.
Answer:
b) Solve the equation to answer the question above. (Note: Include the units, in this case years.)
Answer:

Answer 1

y = -2280x + 31,500

or

when x = 6

so 6 years

Explanation:

y = -2280x + 31,500

y = -2280(6) + 31,500

y = -13,680 + 31,500

y = 17,820
