Answer:

x = -2 y= -8 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is an equal number of y's, they cancel out when subtracting. You can put either equation on top. You will get same answer.

To find x:

If you do (3x - 2y = 10) - (5x + 2y = 6), you will get -2x=4. Divide both sides by -2, and get x = -2.

If you do (5x + 2y = 6) - (3x - 2y = 10), you will get 2x=-4.Divide both sides by 2, and get x = -2.

To find y:

Substitute -2 for x in either equation. It doesn't matter.

For 3(-2) - 2y = 10:

3(-2) - 2y = 10 ––Multiply

-6 - 2y =10 ––Add 6 to both sides to get y alone

-2y = 16 ––Divide by -2

y = -8

For 5x + 2y = 6:

5(-2) + 2y = 6 ––Multiply

-10 + 2y = 6 ––Add 10 to both sides to get y alone

2y = 16 ––Divide by 2

y = 8

Using the monthly payments formula, it is found that a car with a value of at most $25,293.

<h3>What is the monthly payment formula?</h3>

It is given by:

$A = P\frac{\frac{r}{12}\left(1 + \frac{r}{12}\right)^n}{\left(1 + \frac{r}{12}\right)^n - 1}$

In which:

P is the initial amount.

r is the interest rate.

n is the number of payments.

In this problem, we have that the parameters are given as follows:

A = 400, n = 70, r = 0.035.

Hence:

r/12 = 0.035/12 = 0.002917.

Then we have to solve for P to find the maximum value of the car.

$A = P\frac{\frac{r}{12}\left(1 + \frac{r}{12}\right)^n}{\left(1 + \frac{r}{12}\right)^n - 1}$

$400 = P\frac{0.002917(1.002917)^{70}}{(1.002917)^{70}-1}$

$P = \frac{400[(1.002917)^{70}-1]}{0.002917(1.002917)^{70}}$

P = $25,293.

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

x = √(12.7^2 - 6.2^2)

x = √(161.29 - 38.44)

x = √122.85

x = 11.08
