In a car dealership, all of the vehicles are either a sedan or a SUV. If 36 sedans are sold and 36
SUVs are added, there will be an equal number
of sedans and SUVs. If 8 SUVs are sold and 8
sedans are added, there will be twice as many
sedans as SUVs. How many sedans were at the
dealership before any vehicle was sold?

The number of sedans before any vehicle was sold is 168

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the variables:

x = number of sedans

y = number of SUVs

We know that:

"If 36 sedans are sold and 36  SUVs are added, there will be an equal number  of sedans and SUVs"

If 36 sedans are sold, the new number of sedans is:

x - 36

if 36 SUVs are added, the new number of SUVs is

y + 36

And these numbers are equal, then:

x - 36 = y + 36

We also know that:

" If 8 SUVs are sold and 8  sedans are added, there will be twice as many

sedans as SUVs. "

If 8 SUVs are sold, the new number of SUVs will be:

y - 8

If 8 sedans are added, the new number of sedans wil be:

x + 8

From this we can write the equation:

(x + 8) = 2*(y - 8)

x + 8 = 2*y - 16

Then we have two equations:

x - 36 = y + 36

x + 8 = 2*y - 16

We want to find the number of sedans, x, then we need to isolate the other variable in one of the equations, let's isolate y in the first one:

Let's isolate x in the first one:

x - 36 - 36 = y

x - 72 = y

Now we can replace it in the other equation:

x + 8 = 2*y - 16

x + 8 = 2*(x - 72) - 16

Now we can solve this for x.

x + 8 = 2*x - 144 - 16

8 + 144 + 16 = 2x - x

168  = x

The number of sedans before any vehicle was sold is 168

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

explanation:

the loan estimate encourages consumers to shop. since it is the lenders who are required to issue a standardized loan estimate in a specific time frame, this way consumers are provided an opportunity to compare lenders and their products. otherwise consumer wouldn't know the benefits offered by other lenders.  

if a loan originator does not provide a loan estimate within 3 business days of receiving a completed loan application, that lender is in violation. lenders are required to issue a loan estimate within 3 days of applying for a loan or within 7 days prior to closing. having a loan estimate has following information.

not having loan estimate won't give you an idea of money to be borrowed.

you get to know your interest rates.

you also get to know if your interest rate can or may vary.

not having a good faith estimate can keep you unaware of aforementioned points.
