By solving a linear equation, we will see that the total cost for renting the bus is $90.
<h3>What was the total cost of renting the bus, in dollars?</h3>
Let's say that the total cost is C.
When there are 20 students, each student should pay:
p = C/20
When the other 10 students are added (for a total of 30) each student pays:
p' = C/30.
We know that the cost for each of the original 20 students decreased by $1.50, so:
p' = p - $1.50
Then we have 3 equations to work with:
p = C/20
p' = C/30.
p' = p - $1.50
Now we can replace the first and second equations into the third one:
C/30 = C/20 - $1.50
Now we can solve this linear equation for C:
C/20 - C/30 = $1.50
C*( 1/20 - 1/30) = $1.50
C*(30/600 - 20/600) = $1.50
C*(10/600) = $1.50
C*(1/60) = $1.50
C = 60*$1.50 = $90
So the total cost for renting the bus is $90.

Answer:
Y>-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 11 to both sides and divide
Answer:
x=48
Step-by-step explanation:
x-3 15
------------ = ----------
6 2
We can use cross products to solve this problem
(x-3) *2 = 6*15
Distribute
2x-6 = 90
Add 6 to each side
2x-6+6 = 90+6
2x=96
Divide by 2
2x/2 = 96/2
x = 48
Answer:
(2x+11)x (2x-11)
