Select the correct augmented matrices. Liam wants to buy a car and pay for it in three installments. The total cost of the car is $29,000. Two times the first installment is $1,000 more than the sum of the third installment and three times the second installment. Liam must pay 15% interest on the second and the third installments: the interest will amount to $2,100. If x, y, and z represent the first, second, and third installments, respectively, identify the augmented matrices that model Liam's situation.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given:

    The total cost of the car is 29,000 dollars. Which is paid in three installments. x, y and z are the installments.

    To Find:

    The value of x, y and z.

    Solving:

    It is said that 2 times the 1 installment is $1,000 ore than the sum of the 3 rd installment and 3 times the second installment.

    = 2x = 1000 + z + 3y

    Transposing:

    = z = 2x - 3y - 1000

    x + y + z = 29000 + 2100

    = x + y + z = 31100

    = x + y + 2x - 3y - 1000 = 31100

    = 3x - 2y = 32100

    First installment at start paid = x (We have assumed)

    Remaining Installment which is left to pay = 29,000 - x

    (29,000 - x) * 15 / 100 = Interest for First

    = (29000 - x) * 3/20

    => 4350 - 0.15x

    Installment Paid Second = y

    (29000 - x) + 4350 - 0.15x - y) * 15/100 = Interest Second

    (29000 - x) + 4350 - 0.15x - y) * 3/20

    = 5002.5 - 0.1725x - 0.15y

    Interest of 1st installment + Interest of 2nd installment = 2100

    Using this principle solving:

    = 4,350 - 0.15x + 5,002.5 - 0.1725x - 0.15y = 2,100

    = 0.3225x + 0.15y = 7,252.5

    = 6.45x + 3y = 1,45,050

    = 12.9x + 6y = 2,90,100

    = 4.3x + 2y = 96,700

    = 4.3x + 2y = 96700

    = 3x - 2y = 32,100

    = 7.3x = 1,28,800

    = x ≈ 17644 (17,643.8356)

    3x - 2y = 32,100

    = y ≈ 10416 (10,415.7534)

    x + y + z = 31100

    = z ≈ 3040 (3,040.4110)
