Mary's car has broken down and it will cost her $1200 to get it fixed—or, for $4500, she can buy a new, more efficient car instead. Her present car uses about $2000 worth of gas per year, while gas for the new car would cost about $1500 per year. After how many years would the total cost of fixing the car equal the total cost of replacing it?

it will take 6.6 years for both costs to be the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of years that it will take for the total cost of fixing the car to equal the total cost of replacing it.

It will cost Mary $1200 to fix her car. Her present car uses about $2000 worth of gas per year, it means that the total cost of fixing the car and using it for x years is

1200 + 2000x

It will cost her $4500 to buy a new car while gas for the new car would cost about $1500 per year. it means that the total cost of buying the car and using it for x years is

4500 + 1500x

Therefore, for the total cost of fixing the car to equal the total cost of replacing it, the number of years would be

1200 + 2000x = 4500 + 1500x

2000x - 1500x = 4500 - 1200

500x = 3300

x = 3300/500

x = 6.6

not enough information

step-by-step explanation:

we cannot know this, because the other students could have handed out 10 flyers, or they could have handed out 100. one way, the mean would go up, and another way, the mean would go down.

to find the perimeter of the rectangle this is the expression:

x-9+x-9+3x-4+3x-4=138

if we simplify it:

8x-26=138

remember, 138 is what it all adds up to

the length is 11.5cm

the width is 57.5cm

the area is 661.25cm^2
