If its value grew by $5000/year for 2 years, then it was worth $10,000 more than it cost them. So, 2 years ago, it was worth $145,000. That means the value
v = 145,000 + 5000x
v = 145,000 + 5000x

Function: V = Vo + 5000x.
V = Value over time.
Vo = Original value.
155,000 = Vo + 5000*2,
Vo = $145,000.
