Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

If you multiply the price for each mule x the amount of miles + the daily rental, you get the price. If you do this for each option and each car rental then you can see when the answers add up.

.75x56+20=62

.50x56+34=62

Answer:  A. 56 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula,

Total rent for car = Fixed rate + (Additional rate per mile) x (Number of mile)

Let x be the number of miles droven .

As per given ,

A car rental company charges $34 per day for a rented car and $0.50 for every mile driven.

i.e. Total rent for car = 34 +0.5x   ...(i)

A second rental company charges $20 per day and $0.75 for every mile driven.

i.e. Total rent for car = 20 +0.75x   ...(ii)

If both company charges the same , then from (i ) and (ii) , we have

20 +0.75x = 34 +0.5x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 0.25x=14\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{14}{0.25}=\dfrac{1400}{25}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=56

Hence, the number of miles at which both companies charge the same amount for a one-day rental = 56 miles

Thus, the correct answer is A. 56 miles.

Ashraf attends a local festival, which has an entrance fee. Each game costs
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

2 + 2x = y

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you're saying the entrance fee is $2. This is the constant. If each game costs an additional $2 per game, that would translate into 2x - or 2 * the number of games. This results in the slope-intercept form equation of: 2+2x=y

Do the political leanings of a network affect the news they report? During the the 2018-2019 Government shutdown, a left-leaning
daser333 [38]

Answer:

504

Step-by-step explanation:

We are solving for the left leaning poll

Total voters = 900 + 1100

= 2000

Number of voters who say trump was responsible = 56percent x 2000

= 1120

Number of those who say otherwise = 44% x 2000

= 880

For this network

Those who say trump is responsible = 1120 x900/2000

= 1008000/2000

= 504 registered voters
