To find the total cost \( y \) of the new car after \( x \) months, you can use the following equation:
\[
y = 2000 + 500x
\]
In this equation:
- \( 2000 \) represents the initial payment made today,
- \( 500x \) represents the total payments made over \( x \) months at a rate of $500 per month.
\[
y = 2000 + 500x
\]
In this equation:
- \( 2000 \) represents the initial payment made today,
- \( 500x \) represents the total payments made over \( x \) months at a rate of $500 per month.
