Hey there!
First, we should subtract them.
90125 - 58478 = 31,647
90125 is 31647 more than 58478.
Hope this helps!
Have a great day!
So we are given a system:

Substitute x = 2 we get the system:

Multiply the first equation by -5 and the second by 2 we get the system:

Adding the two equations we get :

We find the value of y by using any of the other equations like this:

Final solution:
The line of the equation perpendicular to y=5 and cuts through (-5,-7) will be given by
m(x-x1)=y-y1
where m=slope.
from y=0x+5, the slope of the perpendicular line m=0,
thus the equation will be:
0(x--5)=y--7
0=y+7
y=-7
The equation is y=-7
Car value at the time of purchase $15, 250 (2012)
Rate of depreciation 7.5%
1) y = 15250 ( 1- 0.075)^x
y = 15250 (0.925)^x (x tis the number of years that passed since purchase)
2) y = 15250 * ( 0.925)^8 = 8173.42
