Jeremy just purchased a 4-year-old car for $12,000. He was told that this make and model depreciates exponentially at a rate of 5.8% per year. What was the original price of the car? (Round ONLY your FINAL. answer to the nearest whole number)

The correct answer is: 2

1. isolate the variable, in this case, d. subtract 35.5 on both sides of the equation.2. 52 subtracted by 35.5 is 16.53. therefore your answer would be d= 16.5this is the basics of pre algebra, isolating variable through adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing, if you have any other questions to ask just comment!
