Goro just bought a new television for $610.00. He made a down payment of $64.00 and will pay monthly payments of $26.00 until it is paid off. How many months will Goro be paying?

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the total Cost = y

Let the monthly payment number = x

Let the y intercept = 64

y = 26x + 64

610 = 26x + 64 Subtract 64 from each side

-64 - 64

546 = 26x

26x = 546 Divide by 26

x = 546/26

x = 21 months
