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.

EASY BRAINLIEST ANSWER ASAP!!

Answer:

  1. (0, 4)
  2. (-1, 16/ 3)
  3. (-9/ 2, 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

In an ordered pair the term before the comma is the x variable and the term after the comma is the y variable.

1.

4x + 3y = 12 . . . . . .(0, _)

here were given the x variable

finding the other term

4× 0 + 3y = 12

3y = 12

y = 4

therefore the ordered pair is <u>(0, 4) </u>

2.

. . . . . . . (-1, _)

here were given the x variable

4 × -1 + 3y = 12

3y = 12 + 4

3y = 16

y = 16/ 3

ordered pair is <u>(-1, 16/ 3)</u>

3.

. . . . . . . . (_, 10)

here were given the y variable

finding the other term

4x + 3 × 10 = 12

4x + 30 = 12

4x = 12 - 30

4x = -18

dividing both sides by 2

2x = -9

x = -9/ 2

ordered pair is<u> (-9/ 2, 10)</u>
