Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2   days

y = 250  $

Step-by-step explanation:

We call "y"  total renting costs  and  "x" total vacation days

according to that in first case we have:

y  =  100*x  + 50

And for the second case

y  =  120*x +  10               (1)

That two equation system represent the equation system of the situation, therefore if we solve that system we will determine the choises with same costs

equating these two equations:

100*x  +  50  =  120*x + 10

50 - 10  = 120*x - 100*x

20*x = 40

x = 2   days

Plugging that value in any of the equation (1) or (2) we get y value

y  =  120*2  +  10

y = 250  $
