Question

How long can you lease the car before the amount of the lease is more than the cost of the car

Answer 1

48 months

Explanation:

According to the statement we can propose the following equation, where the price of the car is more than or equal to the amount of the lease. Just like this:

Let x be the number of months

`16920\ge600+340x`

We solve for x, just like this:

`\begin{gathered} 600+340x-600\le16920-600 \\ (340x)/(340)\le(16320)/(340) \\ x\le48 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, for 48 months, the car rental will be lower
