Answer 1

We have an equation that relates the length of the subcription (x) and the cost of the upgrade (y):

`y=14.99x+74.99`

We know that y = 434.75, so we have to calculate the value of x that makes y = 434.75. we can do this as:

`\begin{gathered} y=434.75 \\ 14.99x+74.99=434.75 \\ 14.99x=434.75-74.99 \\ 14.99x=359.76 \\ x=(359.76)/(14.99) \\ x=24 \end{gathered}`

The length of the subscription for the cost of the upgrade to be $434.75 is 24 months.

Answer: 24 months.
