To find the amount that Franklin financed, you will calculate the amount he put down and subtract that from the original price because that is what he still owes.
0.2 x $4500 = $900
$4500 - $900 = $3600.
Porter financed $3600.
You also multiply 0.8 x $4500 because this represents the part out of 100% he still owes. You will get the same answer this way.
Okay, we start with 42x^2 + 32 - 18 = 6062. To solve single-variable equations like this one, we want to isolate the x by moving all of the other numbers to the other side of the equation. We need to first subtract 32 and 18, and that equals 14. Now our problem looks like this, 42x^2 + 14 = 6062. Since 14 is the only other number on the left side, we subtract four from both sides! This gives us 42x^2 + 14 - 14 = 6062 - 14, so 42x^2 = 6062. Now to find x, we want to just have one x on the left side instead of 42, so we divide the equation by 42 to find that 42x^2/42 = 6048/42, so x = 12
Ummm hi :) Ann’s Kama abs
