The statement is somewhat ambiguous because it doesn't specify what is meant by "the formula." However, if we assume it refers to the standard loan payment formula (often used for mortgages), which calculates the monthly payment based on the principal amount, interest rate, and number of payments, then:
The formula typically looks like this:
\[ M = P_0 \frac{r(1 + r)^n}{(1 + r)^n - 1} \]
where:
- \( M \) = monthly payment
- \( P_0 \) = principal (loan amount)
- \( r \) = monthly interest rate (annual interest rate divided by 12)
- \( n \) = number of payments (loan term in months)
If you are solving for \( P_0 \) (the principal) given the monthly payment \( M \), you would rearrange the formula to solve for \( P_0 \), making the statement "you would solve for P₀" true.
So, if the interpretation is that you can rearrange the formula to find \( P_0 \), then the answer would be:
**True**
