Yes, it's legal for auto loans to be front-loaded with interest, meaning you pay more interest early in the loan. This can make you upside down if the car’s value drops faster than the loan balance. It’s allowed as long as the lender discloses the terms under the Truth in Lending Act.

limit (x²-1)/(x-1) = x+1.
Weegy: 5/7(x+y)-1/7(x-1)= 5x + 5y/7 - x - 1/7 = 5x - x + 5y - 1/7 = 4x + 5y - 1/7
