Answer:
<h2>1. 16 months</h2><h2>2. $5,150 </h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
let x = number of months
let dealer A = 2350 + 175x
let dealer B = 2750 + 150x
find:
After how many months would the total amount paid be the same for both dealers? What would that amount be?
dealer A = dealer B
2350 + 175x = 2750 + 150x
175x - 150x = 2750 - 2350
25x = 400
x = 400/25
x = 16
<u>plugin x=16 back into the equation</u>
let dealer A = 2350 + 175x
= 2350 + 175(16)
= 5150
let dealer B = 2750 + 150x
= 2750 + 150(16)
= 5150
therefore,
1. it would take 16 months pay the same for both dealers
2. the amount would be $5150
