Kenya plans to make a down payment plus monthly payments in order to buy a motorcycle. at one dealer she would pay $2,350 down and $175 each month. at another dealer, she would pay $2,850 down and $150 each month. after how many months would the total amount paid be the same for both dealers? what would that amount be?

20 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of months. The cost  equation for each dealer is the total of the down payment and the total monthly contribution. Thus,

Deal 1 cost = $2,350 + $175x

Dealer 2 cost =$2,850 + $150x

The number of months after which the costs from both dealers are equal is calculated by equating the costs for both dealers. Therefore,

$2,350 + $175x = $2,850 + $150x

$175x -$150x =$2,850 -$2,350

   $25x =$500

        x= $500/$25

         x = 20 months
