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.

Please answer the following question. (40 points)
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

We have, 75% × x = 60

or,

75/ 100 × x = 60

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 75,

we have x = 60 × 100/75

x = 80

hammer [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2x - 2/3 × 15 = 30

1/2x - 10 = 30

1/2x = 30 + 10

1/2x = 40

x = 40 × 2

x = 80

What is he product of (n-8)(n+2)
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

\large\boxed{(n-8)(n+2)=n^2-6n-16}

Step-by-step explanation:

Use FOIL:

<em>(a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd</em>

We have:

(n-8)(n+2)=(n)(n)+(n)(2)+(-8)(n)+(-8)(2)=n^2+2n-8n-16

<em>combine like terms</em>

=n^2+(2n-8n)-16=n^2-6n-16
