Answer:

The number of miles at which a car rented from either company cost the same amount is <u>50 miles</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the number of miles at which a car rented from either company cost the same amount. Therefore, we can have the following equation:

RC = 25 + 0.14x ....................... (1)

BC = 23 + 0.18x ...................... (2)

Where;

RC = Total cost of Rent-Me Rent-A-Car

BC = Total cost of Better Deal Rental Car

The the cost of the two companies equal where RC = BC. Therefore, we equate equations (1) and (2) and solve for x as follows:

25 + 0.14x = 23 + 0.18x

25 - 23 = 0.18x - 0.14x

2 = 0.04x

x = 2 / 0.04

x = 50

Therefore, the number of miles at which a car rented from either company cost the same amount is <u>50 miles</u>.

<u>Note:</u>

This can be confirmed for equations (1) and (2) individually by substituting for x = 50 as follows:

For equation (1):

RC = 25 + 0.14(50)

RC = 25 + 7

RC = 32

For equation (2):

BC = 23 + 0.18(50)

BC = 23 + 9

BC = 32

Therefore, RC = BC = 32 confirms the answer.

Identify the property that justifies the following statement:<br> If &lt;1≈ &lt;2, then &lt;2≈&lt;1.
Colt1911 [192]

Symmetric property of congruence.

Solution:

Given statement:

If ∠1 ≅ ∠2, then ∠2 ≅ ∠1.

<em>To identify the property used in the above statement:</em>

Let us first know some property of congruence:

Reflexive property:

The geometric figure is congruent to itself.

That is \overline{A B} \cong \overline{A B} \text { or } \angle B \cong \angle B.

Symmetric property of congruence:

If the geometric figure A is congruent to figure B, then figure B is also congruent to figure A.

That is \overline{A B} \cong \overline{C D}, \text { then } \overline{C D} \cong \overline{A B}.

Transitive property of congruence:

If figure A is congruent to figure B and figure B is congruent to figure C, then figure A is congruent to figure C.

That is \angle A\cong \angle B, \ \angle B\cong \angle C \  \text{then} \ \angle A\cong \angle C

From the above properties, it is clear that,

If ∠1 ≅ ∠2 then ∠2 ≅ ∠1 is symmetric property of congruence.

Richard’s checking account balance was $57.34 at the beginning of the week. During the week, he recorded the transactions below.
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

US$ 132.45

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for the missing table.

Given:

Richard’s checking account balance at the beginning of the week = $57.34

<u>Richard’s account balance at the end of the week from the given table:</u>

Deposits of the week = US$ 163.75

Expenses of the week = Groceries + Credit card bill + Gas

Expenses of the week = 25.37 + 50 + 13.27

Expenses of the week = US$ 88.64

Richard’s account balance at the end of the week = Richard’s checking account balance at the beginning of the week + Deposits of the week - Expenses of the week

Replacing with the real values:

Richard’s account balance at the end of the week = 57.34 + 163.75 - 88.64

                                                                                    =US$ 132.4
