Answer:

Andrew has 9 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by defining what our unknowns are and how to name them:

For the number of cars Andrew has: let's use the letter A

For the number of cars Luke has: let's use the letter L

Not write the first sentence in mathematical terms:

"Luke has 4 more than triples the number of cars that Andrew has."

L = 3 * A + 4

The second phrase results on a very simple equation since it just states the number of cars that Luke has:

L = 31

Now we can combine these two equations by replacing the variable "L" in the first equation with the second equation and then solve for A:

L = 3 * A + 4

31 = 3 * A +4

31 - 4 = 3 * A

27 = 3 * A

A = 27/3

A = 9

Therefore, Andrew has 9 cars.

a car rental agency charge 20 per day plus 30 cents per mile. if you had one of the car for 5 days and your total bill is $197.5
Flura [38]

Answer:

325 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

$20 for each day

5 days

$0.30 for each mile

20(5) + 0.3x = 197.5

100 + 0.3x = 197.5

100 - 100 + 0.3x = 197.5 - 100

0.3x = 97.5

\frac{0.3x}{0.3} = \frac{97.5}{0.3}

x = 325
