Answer:
Carmen will have her loan payed off in 20 months.
Ramona will have her loan payed off in 25 months.
Step-by-step explanation:
Carmen: $800 loan; paying $40 a month
Divide $800 by $40 and you'll get 20 months
Ramona: $500 loan; paying $20 a month
Divide $500 by $20 and you'll get 25 months
x=-4
-18=2+5x
Subtract 2 from both sides
-20=5x
-4=x
