Answer:
x=−0.35
Step-by-step explanation:
2.5x−10.5=64×0.5x
2.5x−10.5=32x
−10.5=32x−2.5x
−10.5=29.5x
− 29.5/10.5=x
−0.355932=x
<h3>Henry drove the truck for 208 miles</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
Base fee = $ 18.95
Additional charge of $.79 for each mile driven
Let "x" be the miles driven
Henry had to pay $183.27 when he returned the truck
Therefore,
Cost for rent = base fee + charge for "x" miles
183.27 = 18.95 + 0.79x
0.79x = 183.27 - 18.95
0.79x = 164.32
Divide both sides by 0.79
x = 208
Thus Henry drove for 208 miles the truck
I thinks it's D, due to the process elimination
