NEED HELP ASAP PLEASE!! Nicholas bought a new computer for $1,250. The value of the computer decreases by 17 percent every year. Approximately how much is the computer worth after 5 years?
Question 5 options:

A)

$492.38

B)

$623.03

C)

$0.18

D)

$2740.56

7.3

step-by-step explanation:

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
