A. $2,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the money in the savings account will be used to pay off for tractor.

let the number of months be m

Savings after m months will be 500 + 150m

After m months the installments paid will 200m

To find the months it will take to pay for the tractor in m months, savings and the installments will be the price of the tractor. As an equation it be represented as below:

500+150m + 200m = 4000

150m + 200m = 4000-500 (grouping like terms)

350m = 3500 (Making m the subject of the formula)

350m/350 = 3500/350

m = 10

Substituting m into the equation of saving after m months

Savings after m months will be 500 + 150m

Savings after m months will be 500 + 150 (10)

Savings after m months will be 500 + 1500

Savings after m months will be $2000
