itional day, or they can rent the same car for $25 the first day and $5 for every additional day beyond that. Farid notices that, given the number of additional days he wants to rent the car for, the two specials are equivalent. How many additional days does Farid want?

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to solve this problem is 40 + 2x = 25 + 5x

Now, to solve for x you first need to subtract 25 from each side:

15 + 2x = 5x

Next, subtract 2x from each side:

15 = 3x

Finally, divide both sides by 3:

5 = x

Farid is renting the car for 5 additional days.

NEED HELP NOW I have 31 stamps total. I have 4 more 1-cent stamps than 8-cent stamps and twice as many one cent stamps as 12 cen
krek1111 [17]

x = number of 1-cent stamps

y = number of 8-cent stamps

z = number of 12-cent stamps

We have 31 stamps all together, so x+y+z = 31.

"I have 4 more 1-cent stamps than 8-cent stamps" means we have the equation x = y+8. Whatever y is, add 8 to it to get x. Solve for y to get y = x-8.

You also have "twice as many one cent stamps as 12 cent stamps", so x = 2z. Solving for z gets you z = 0.5x

-------------

x+y+z = 31

x+x-8+z = 31 ... y replaced with x-8

x+x-8+0.5x = 31 ... plug in z = 0.5x

2.5x-8 = 31

2.5x = 31+8

2.5x = 39

x = 39/2.5

x = 15.6

Your teacher made a typo somewhere because we should get a positive whole number result for x (since x is a count of how many 1-cent stamps we have).
