Answer:
Both Wolverine and James Bond will have paid the same amount after 10 months.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x denotes the number of months after which both Wolverine and James Bond will have paid the same amount.
As Wolverine makes a $1000 down payment for a motorcycle and then pays $300 per month,
Amount paid by Wolverine in x months is equal to [tex]1000+300x[/tex]
As James Bond makes a $2500 down payment for a motorcycle and then pays $150 per month,
Amount paid by James Bond in x months is equal to [tex]2500+150x[/tex]
To find number of months after which both Wolverine and James Bond will have paid the same amount,
solve [tex]1000+300x=2500+150x[/tex]
[tex]1000+300x=2500+150x\\300x-150x=2500-1000\\150x=1500\\x=\frac{1500}{150}=10[/tex]
So, both Wolverine and James Bond will have paid the same amount after 10 months.
