Roni recently bought a car for $27,000. Her research shows the car will depreciate an average of $1,500 per year. Which equation can be used to find x, the number of years she will have owned the car when its value is exactly $22,500?

A. 22,500 = 27,000 - 1,500x

B. 22,500 = 27,000 + 1,500x

C. 22,500 = 1,500x - 27,000

D. 22,500 = 27,000x - 1,500

I believe it c

i think its A. since the value is depreciating each year it means its lossing money. so that means the money she loses is less is negative. so a negative sign in front of the number means it negative. so since 1,500x has a negative it makes it right.
