As given

Taylor Scuff leased a new sports car and is certain she can keep under the 12,000 miles allowed a year.

The $2,200 due at signing includes the title and license fee.

Her monthly lease payments are $700 a month.

If the total lease cost is $27,400.

Than the equations becomes

2200 + 700x = 27400

700x = 27400 - 2200

700x = 25200

`x = (25200)/(700)`

x = 36

Therefore the number of months does the lease last are 36 months.
