Question

Jeremy wants to buy a new computer, the sales woman says he can make down payments and then pay for the computer in installments.here is a formula describing the situationx= t - yzwherex = amount downy = money each monthz = number of monthst = total priceRewrite the formula to solve for the amount of money Jeremy must pay each monthNeed an answer ASAP 0_0

Answer 1

$\text{Amount Jeremy must pay each month: }y\text{ = }\frac{t-x}{z}$Explanation:

Formula describing the situation:

x = t - yz

where

x = amount down

y = money paid each month

z = number of months

t = total price



To rewrite the formula to solve for the amount of money Jeremy must pay each month, we would make y the subject of the formula:

x = t - yz

x - t = - yz

divide both sides by -1:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{x-t}{-1}=\frac{-yz}{-1} \\ -1(x\text{ - t) = yz} \end{gathered}$$\begin{gathered} yz\text{ =-1(x) -1(-t)} \\ yz\text{ = -x + t} \\ \text{divide both sides by z:} \\ \frac{yz}{z}=\frac{-x+t}{z} \\ y\text{ = }\frac{t-x}{z} \end{gathered}$

AMount Jeremy must pay each month is y = (t-x)/z
