You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the cost to rent a car is 30 dollars a day plus 30 cents a mile.
\n" ); document.write( "his bill was 105 for 2 day rental.
\n" ); document.write( "take away 60 dollars for the 2 day to get 45 dollars at 30 cents a mile.
\n" ); document.write( "divide 45 by .30 to get 150 miles.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that should be your answer.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the formula is c = 30 * x + .30 * y
\n" ); document.write( "x is the number of days.
\n" ); document.write( "y is the number of miles.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "when x = 2, the formula becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "c = 30 * 2 + .30 * y
\n" ); document.write( "simplify to get:
\n" ); document.write( "c = 60 + .30 * y
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 60 from both sides of the equation to get:
\n" ); document.write( "c - 60 = .30 * y
\n" ); document.write( "when c = 105, the formula becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "105 - 60 = .30 * y
\n" ); document.write( "simplify to get:
\n" ); document.write( "45 = .30 * y
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of the equation by .30 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "45/.30 = y
\n" ); document.write( "solve for y to get:
\n" ); document.write( "y = 150 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
