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.

3x + 4y = 14 x = 2y - 12 cordanit plane
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

(- 2, 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x + 4y = 14 → (1)

x = 2y - 12 → (2)

Substitute x = 2y - 12 into (1)

3(2y - 12) + 4y = 14 ← distribute and simplify left side

6y - 36 + 4y = 14

10y - 36 = 14 ( add 36 to both sides )

10y = 50 ( divide both sides by 10 )

y = 5

Substitute y = 5 into (2) for corresponding value of x

x = 2(5) - 12 = 10 - 12 = - 2

Solution is (- 2, 5 )

The monthly fees for the local pool are $8 per month
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Given:

Monthly fees for the local pool are $8 per month  and $2 per visit.

Hector pays $34 in pool fees total for  the month.

To find:

The number of times he visit the pool.

Solution:

We have,

Monthly fee of pool = $8

Additional fee = $2 per visit

Let Hector visit x times.

Additional fee for x times = $2x

Total fee = Monthly fee + Additional fee

34=8+2x

34-8=2x

26=2x

Divide both sides by 2.

\dfrac{26}{2}=x

13=x

Therefore, Hector visit the pool 13 times.
