First, create an equation for the price of the car for both dealerships:

Dealership A:   y = 150x + 2500
Dealership B:   y = 125x + 3000

where y is the total cost of the car and x is the number of months that have passed.

You know that y is equal to "150x + 2500" AND y is equal to "125x + 3000," so "150x + 2500" must be equal to "125x + 3000"

150x+2500=125x+3000

Now, just solve for x to find the number of months at which the total amount paid would be the same for both dealers:

150x+2500=125x+3000\\150x-125x+2500=3000\\25x+2500=3000\\25x=3000-2500\\25x=500\\25x/25=500/25\\x=20

So, after 20 months, the price of the car at both dealerships is the same. To find that price, just plug in 20 for x in one of the equations (because x was the number of months):

y=150x+2500\\y=150(20)=2500\\y=3000+2500\\y=5500

So, the car costs the same after 20 months, $5500 at either dealership.

Answer:

-2. 46

- 9.54

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 2x²+12x-7=0
  • 2x²+12x+18= 25
  • 2*(x²+6x+9)=25
  • 2*(x+6)²= 5²
  • x+6= 5√2/2 ⇒ x= 5√2/2 -6 ≈ -2. 46
  • x+6= -5√2/2 ⇒ x= -5√2/2 -6 ≈ - 9.54
