Is there any number of months after which both George and Elaine will have paid the same amount?

Question

George makes $3000 down payment for a car and then pays $325 per month. Elaine makes a $2500 down payment for a car and then pays $325 per month. Is there any number of months after which both George and Elaine will have paid the same amount

Answer 1

total money paid by George in x months: 3000+325x

total money paid by Elaine in x months: 2500+325x

Here is the the equation:

 

3000+325x=2500+325x or 3000=2500 

So, there is no x satisfying the equation

Answer 2

George will have to stop then Elaine can catch-up.
