we know all it's doing is adding 6 over again to each term to get the next one, so then
now for the explicit one

Answer:
I'm not sure if you mean each person has a car for 2 weeks and travels 500 miles each but if so the rental cost is $2,940.
If it is just one car for all 3 people the rental cost is $980
Step-by-step explanation:
renatl cost = r
weeks = w
miles = m
the equation would be r = $240w + $1m
and if there are 3 people you mulitply the answer by 3
That's unusual: repetition: -1/2 - 1/2.
Did you perhaps mean "Factor -1/2 out of (-1/2)x + 6?
Let's do that. Let's rewrite 6 as (-1/2)(-12).
Then (-1/2)x + 6 (-1/2)x -(1/2)(-12)
-------------- = ------------------------ = x - 1/2
-1/2 -1/2
Hope that's what you wanted. If not, please try to apply a similar approach to solving this particular problem.
Answer:
David 1,988-1,956+32
It is David because when you find the unite ratio you get 1,988 for David and 1,956 for Megan.
