You can put this solution on YOUR website! a car rental agency charges $150 per week plus $0.10 per mile to rent a car.
--------
a. write an equation that expresses the weekly cost to rent the car, y, in terms of the number of miles driven during the week, x.
y = 150 + 0.10x
--------------------
b. how many miles did you drive during the week if the weekly cost to rent the car was $250?
Solve::
250 = 150+0.10x
----
100 = 0.10x
x = 100/0.1 = 100*10 = 1000 miles
--------
