Well, you have to simplify the bottom part to be able to answer it as a whole number. Hope this helps.
Answer:
The answer is no solution.
Step-by-step explanation: First, you would add + 12 to both sides of the equation so that you would have 5c + 21 = 5c. Then, you would subtract 5c from both sides of the equation. This would leave you with 21 = 0. Since this is not true, the equation would have no solution.
4 years=48 months
A new car costs 25,000, but she will get 13,000 for her used car as long as she takes good car of it. If she takes good care of her used car and gets 13,000 for it, she will only need to save 12,000 total. We can divide 12,000 by 48 to find out how much Courtney should save minimum each month to afford her new car. 12,000/48=250
You can check to see if this is correct by multiplying 48*250=12,000. Paying 250 for each month of the 48 months will equal the $12,000 that Courtney needs.
Courtney needs to save at least $250 per month to afford her new car in 4 years.
I hope this helps :)
