1. Let S represent the cost of the sofa and C represent the cost of the chair.

If the sofa costs $50 less than three times the cost of the chair, then effectively we can write this as:

S = 3C - 50

If the sofa and chair together cost $650, we can write this as:

S + C = 650

2. Now, we can find out how much the sofa and chair cost by solving the two equations we obtained above for C, and substituting S = 3C - 50 into S + C = 650. Thus, we get:

S + C = 650

if S = 3C - 50, then:

3C - 50 + C = 650

4C - 50 = 650 (Add C and 3C)

4C = 700 (Add 50 to both sides)

C = 175 (Divide both sides by 4)

Thus, the cost of the chair is $175. Now, to find the cost of the sofa we need to simply substitute C = 175 into our first equation, S = 3C - 50:

S = 3(175) - 50

S = 525 - 50

S = 475

Thus, the sofa costs $475.

3. Now that we know that the sofa costs $475 and the chair costs $175, all we need to do is to subtract the cost of the chair from the cost of the sofa to find the difference in price:

475 - 175 = 300

Therefor, the sofa costs $300 more than the chair (answer C).

A car rental costs $32 as a base fee, plus $28 per day. Use the explicit rule f (n )= 28n + 32
alexdok [17]

Answer:

The charges paid for the first four days are:

  • <u>$144</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the charges paid for the first 4 days, you must use the given explicit rule given:

  • f (n) = 28n + 32

Where:

  • <em>n = Number of days the person rents the car.</em>

As we need to obtain the charges to 4 days, we replace this value in the explicit rule:

  • f (n) = 28n + 32
  • f (4) = 28(4) + 32
  • f (4) = 112 + 32
  • <u>f (4) = 144</u>

With these calculations, <u>you can identify the charges paid for the first 4 days are $144</u>, <em>where $112 is the money by each day of the four days and $32 is the base fee</em>.

To evaluate the expression, add 31 to 29.

The correct expression is n-31.

To evaluate the expression, subtract 31 from 29Pls hurry

Rafael writes an expression to represent "a number, n, decreased by thirty-one." Then he evaluates that expression if

n-29. Which statements are true about the expression and its evaluation? Check all that apply.

The correct expression is 31-n.

This is a subtraction expression.

This is an addition expression.

To evaluate, substitute 29 for the variable in the expression.

To evaluate, substitute 31 for the variable in the equation.

To evaluate the expression, add 31 to 29.

The correct expression is n-31.
