Answer:
After 16 months, Kenya will have paid $5,550
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a guess and check type of a problem. You guess a number of months, plug it into x, and see if both equations come out with the same answer.
If you plug 16 into the first dealer's equation, you get y= 200(16) + 2350. Solving this equation will mean y equals 5550.
If you plug 16 into the second dealer's equation, you get y= 175(16) + 2750.
Solving this equation will mean y also equals 5550.

Answer:
Stephanie has more than $900
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent the unknowns: a for Alexandra and s for Stephanie.
Then a + s > $2,500, and a = s + $700.
Substituting the latter into the former equation, we get:
(s + $700) + s > $2,500, or
2s > $1800
Then s > $900; Stephanie has more than $900.
The answer is 10x^4 - 2x ^3
