2x(250)(10) = y; x = 10
Rewrite your equations first:
2 x 250 = 5,000
x = 10; 5,000x = y
x = 10
5,000x = y
(5,000)(10) = y
50,000 = y
Therefore, y = 50,000. So, you would've needed $50,000 for you to "financially recover" from the idiot in the Audi. But $50,000?! I doubt your car repair costs are that high. Unless, the Audi driver also has a minivan and their name is Karen who has to get home to drive her kids to soccer practice at 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm.
