Answer:
well can I see the choices?
The answer should be 1546.3 after its worked out.
Um, so it's a bit awkward with this question because they actually got the x value incorrect. When they added up all the values, they got 9x - 27 = 180, but it's actually 9x + 27 = 180 because -18 + 45 is positive 27. Anyways, when you solve it correctly you get x = 17, and then you substitute it into the angles. So with 5x - 18, you are saying 5(× 17) - 18 = 67. Then with the other one you do 4(× 17) + 45 = 113. You know that x is definitely 17 because 113 + 67 = 180.
<span>I believe this question is referring to purchasing a discount on a loan's interest rate by putting more towards closing costs. For mortgages, sometimes they will allow you to "buy" a smaller interest rate. For example:
Loan A has an interest rate of 4.5% and no closing costs.
Loan B has an interest rate of 4.375%, but has $1000 in closing costs.
Normally, Loan A would be the better choice if you plan on keeping the home short term, but Loan B would be more beneficial for keeping the loan long-term. I don't really care to spend the time that is necessary to come up with an actual scenario, but I hope that helps enough for you to understand the question</span>
