Question

Jeremy wants to buy a new computer. The saleswoman says that he can make a down payment and then pay for the computer in installments.

Here's a formula that describes this scenario:

x=t-yz

x = Amount down
y = Money each month
z = Number of months
t = Total price

Rewrite the formula to solve for the amount of money Jeremy must pay each month.

Answer 1

x + yz = t

Answer 2

Sorry I didthe wrong one

Answer 3

your looking for y
x = t - yz (subtract t from both sides)
x - t = -yz (now divide by z)
x/z - t/z = -y (multiply by -1)
-x/z + t/z = y or (-x + t)/z = y

Answer 4

y=t-x/z should be right

Answer 5

\[\frac{ -x+t }{ z }=y\]

Was correct, thanks @texaschic101 :) AGAIN! Haha

Answer 6

Kristen's answer is also correct...she just put the t first instead of the -x. It is still the same answer

Answer 7

glad to help :)
