  a.  300 ≤ m ≤ 350

  b.  18,000 ≤ p ≤ 21000

  c.  no

Step-by-step explanation:

a. If we let m represent the monthly payment, the absolute value equation is ...

  |m -325| ≤ 25

  -25 ≤ m -325 ≤ 25 . . . . rewrite as a compound inequality

  300 ≤ m ≤ 350 . . . . . . . add 325

The range of affordable payments is $300 to $350 per month.

__

b. If financing is for 5 years, that's a total of 5×12 = 60 monthly payments. For a car price of p, the monthly payment is p/60, so the above inequality becomes ...

  300 ≤ p/60 ≤ 350

Multiplying by 60 gives the range of affordable car prices:

  18000 ≤ p ≤ 21000

An affordable car will have a price between $18,000 and $21,000 (inclusive).

__

c. If the 0% offer is extended to 6 years, the maximum affordable car price can be 6/5 of the upper limit of the range just found:

  6/5×$21,000 = $25,200

This is still less than the price of the car you want.

You cannot afford to buy the car you want.
