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

A ramp slopes from a warehouse door down to the street. The height of the ramp is 5 feet, and the ramp ends 10 feet from the bas
Tomtit [17]
If you graph this, your first point will be at (0,5), as the ramp is at the warehouse door but 5 feet up. The second point is (10,0) as it is touching the ground but it's 10 feet away from the warehouse.
To find slope, you do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
When substituting in the variables, you get (0-5)/(10-0), which is -5/10, which is simplified to -1/2. Of course, that is when the warehouse is Quadrant II. If you look at it from another point of view, the slope will be positive so your answer is A) 1/2.

Mars2501 [29]

Answer: the length of the rectangle is 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle is x inches

Hence, the width is (x/2)+4 inches

Thus,

\displaystyle\\2(x+(\frac{x}{2} +4))=44\\\\2x+x+8=44\\\\3x+8=44\\\\3x+8-8=44-8\\\\3x=36\\

Divide both parts of the equation by 3:

x=12\ inches

X is the number of hours studied, so replace x with 3 in the equation:

y = 6.8(3) + 60
y = 20.4 + 60
y = 80.4

Round down to 80.

The answer would be A.
