Car B will cost about $15,900. Fuel, maintenance, and repairs for it will average about $1425 per year. 
After how many years are the total costs for the cars the same?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
    17655 + 1230*x = 15900 + 1425*x

    
    x = {{{(17655-15900)/(1425-1230)}}} = 9 years.      <U>ANSWER</U>
