Sara just bought a new car. this car cost $2,362.12 less than twice the price of her first car. how much did her new car cost, if she paid 38,609.04 dollars for her first car?

Step-by-step explanation:

x = first car, y = new car

y = 2x - 2,362.12

x = 38,609.04

y = 2(38,609.04) - 2,362.12

y = 77,218.08 - 2,362.12

y = 74,855.96 < new car cost
