By putting the x on one side then solve it
Total amount paid if he bought = 6000 + 726(12 x 3) = 6000 + 726(36) = 6000 + 26,136 = 32,136
Total amount paid if he rents = 2000 + 37P, where P is the monthly rent
For renting to be cheaper
2000 + 37P < 32,136
37P < 32136 - 2000 = 30136
P < 30136 / 37 = 814.49
Therefore, the maximum rent he could pay is $814
The answer is y=34
