2) a $100,000 house appreciates at a rate of $3500 a year.
a. find the equation that models the value of the house in y dollars after x years.
b. find the value of the house in 12 years.
c. how many years from now will the value of the house be $124,500?

Part a)

Part b)

Part c)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) Find the equation that models the value of the house in y dollars after x years

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

where

m is the rate or slope

b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept (initial value)

Let

x -----> the number of years

y ----> the value of the house in dollars

In this problem we have

substitute

Part b) Find the value of the house in 12 years.

so

For x=12 years

substitute in the equation and solve for y

Part c) How many years from now will the value of the house be $124,500?

For y=$124,500

substitute in the equation and solve for x

subtract 100,000 both sides

Divide by 3,500 both sides

ye

step-by-step explanation:

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
