You buy a new computer for $2000. The computer decreases value by 25% each year. Given the equation V(t)=2000(.75)t , where V represents the computer's value in dollars and t represents the time in years. After how many years will the computer be worth half the original value? Give your answer to 3 decimal places.

You would need 3 years till the total value is less than the 2,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Year 1.) 1,500

Year 2.) 1,125

Year 3.) 843.75

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10
