Algebra.Com's Answer #482883 by jerryguo41(197)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Lets make C=Cost of renting the car, m=miles driven \n" ); document.write( "So the relationship of C in terms of m would be: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "If she only rented the car for a week. \n" ); document.write( "Otherwise another w=week variable will be added. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "This equation can not be solved unless a number of weeks is given, so lets presume she drove it all in one week. \n" ); document.write( "---------------------------- \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Inserting C=175 which is the total amount spent \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Subtracting 100 from each side \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Divide by 0.1 which is also equal to multiplying bu 10. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So Glandy can drive a total of 750 miles if she drives in one week. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
