The most expensive home the couple can afford to buy is $175000.
An equation is an expression that is used to show the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.
The couple needs down payment of 20% of the purchase price for any home. Let d represent the most expensive home they can afford. If the couple has saved $35,000:
20% of d = 35000
0.2d = 35000
d = $175000
The most expensive home the couple can afford to buy is $175000.
