Answer:


y=42,000 - 2000x

Explanation:

The y is the total value of the car after everything that needs to be taken account of has been accounted to. You're finding the y and what the price is after x amount of years. The initial amount is 42,000 so whatever the cost of the car has depreciated would be subtracted from it. 2,000 dollars per year means what ever x is for year, let's say 5. The amount of money that the car has depreciated over the course of 5 years would be 5 multiply by 2,000. Hopes this help!
