    A=17655+1230y, B=15900+1425y

    We wish to know when A=B so:

    15900+1425y=17655+1230y subtract 15900 from both sides

    1425y=1230y+1755 subtract 1230y from both sides

    195y=1755 divide both sides by 195

    y=9

    So in 9 years both cars would cost the same.

    The answer is C.

    C. 1230 x 9=11070

    11070+17655=28725

    1425 x 9 = 12825

    12825+15900=28725
