Answer:

Since the finance’s monthly required payment of $304.07 is greater than the $250 monthly that you can afford, this implies that you CANNOT afford to purchase the car on finance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The monthly required payment of the finance can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV = M * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = Present value or finance amount = $12,000

M = Finance’s monthly required payment = ?

r = Monthly interest rate = Annual interest rate / 12 = 17.9% / 12 = 0.179 / 12 = 0.0149166666666667

n = number of months = Number of years * 12 = 5 * 12 = 60

Substitute the values into equation (1) and solve for M, we have:

$12,000 = M * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.0149166666666667))^60) / 0.0149166666666667)

$12,000 = M * 39.464764662266

M = $12,000 / 39.464764662266 = $304.07

Since the finance’s monthly required payment of $304.07 is greater than the $250 monthly that you can afford, this implies that you CANNOT afford to purchase the car on finance.

Solve the system of equations below by graphing.
Katen [24]

(0.5, 1.3) is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are:

y = 4x-0.8\ \ \ Eqn1\\2x+y-2.3=0\ \ \ Eqn2

As we can see that the given equations are linear equations which are graphed as straight lines on graph. The solution of two equations is the point of their intersection on the graph.

We can plot the graph of both equations using any online or desktop graphing tool.

We have used "Desmos" online graphing calculator to plot the graph of two lines (Picture Attached)

We can see from the graph that the lines intersect at: (0.517, 1.267)

Rounding off both coordinates of point of intersection to nearest tenth we get

(0.5, 1.3)

Hence,

(0.5, 1.3) is the correct answer
