Answer: she wants to rent the car for 11 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of additional days that Pamela wants to rent the car for.

Customers can pay $40 to rent a compact car for the first day plus $6 for each additional day. This means that the total cost of using this special for x days would be

40 + 6(x - 1) = 40 + 6x - 6

= 34 + 6x

Also, they can rent the same car for $30 the first day and $7 for every additional day beyond that. This means that the total cost of using this special for x days would be

30 + 7(x - 1) = 30 + 7x - 7

= 23 + 7x

Since she found out that the two specials are equivalent for x days, then

34 + 6x = 23 + 7x

7x - 6x = 34 - 23

x = 11

Which expression is equivalent to the following?
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

1.32 * 10^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression;

(5×10−3)+(6×10−3)2.2×10^4

First we need to do the multiplication first;

= (5×10−3)+(13.2×10−3+4)

= (5×10−3)+(13.2×10^1)

= 0.005 + 132

= 132.005

= 1.32 * 10^2

Hence the equivalent expression is 1.32.0 * 10^2

What is the answer to the equation 4a+26-9a-17=26?
podryga [215]
First you have to put all of your common numbers together. 4a and 9a go together. You then subtract those because 9 is negative (-9). Then you get -5a. Now move on to your other numbers. You have 26 and 17. 17 is negative as well (-17), so you subtract it from 26. That gives you 9.
Your new equation is -5a + 9 = 26
Now you subtract 9 from both sides. Your positive (+9) will cancel out with your negative (-9). Then subtract it from 26. 9 minus 26 is 17. 
Now your equation is -5a = 17
Since it's negative, you're going to add it (5) to both sides. 
Your 5's cancel out, and 17 + 5 is 22. 
a = 22
22 is the answer
