Answer:

The value of x is 8.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the value of x

From the question, the car is with 59% of its initial value

What this mean is that within the space of that 5 years, the amount of value it has lost will be 100% - 59% = 41%

What this mean is that it has lost 41% in 5 years

The amount it loses per year of the 5 years will be;

41%/5 = 8.2%
