The sports car is cheaper to buy, but costs more insure. Specifically, the total cost of the sports car would be $15,000 plus $2,500 each year for insurance. The station wagon has a total cost of $18, 000 plus $1,000 per year. Write a system of equations if c represents the total cost of a car in dollars and n represents the number of years.  </SPAN>\n" );
