it will take 3.94 years for the television set to be worth half of its original value solved with the help of an equation.

Price of the television = $ 1300

The value of the television decreases each year by = $ 165

Let the time after which value will be half be x.

So, the equation becomes:

1300 - 165 x = 1300 / 2

1300 - 165 x = 650

165 x = 1300 - 650

165 x = 650

x = 650 / 165

x = 130 / 33

x = 3.94 years.

Therefore, it will take 3.94 years for the television set to be worth half of its original value solved with the help of an equation.
