Question

You are buying a car and have two payment options. Option A requires a down payment of $1000 with a monthly payment of $150. Option B requires a down payment of $3000 with a $100 monthly payment. Write a system of equations and find how many months it will be before the two options are equal?

Answer 1

1000+150=1150+150=1300+150=1450+150=1600+150=1750+150=1900

3000+100=3100+100=3200+100=3300+100=3400+100=3500+100=3600

1900=2050+300=2350=2650=2950+150=3100+300=3400+600=4000

3600=3700+200=3900=4100=4300+100=4400+200=4600+400=5000

4000=4600=5200=5800+300=6100=6400+150=6550=6700=6850=7000

5000=5400=5800=6200+200=6400=6600+100=6700=6800=6900=7000
