When handling problems of this nature make sure you setup the equations.
x = number of times they rent a boat.
Members
Cost = 105 + 9.50x
Non members because members don't have to pay the 105 we leave it out.
Cost = 14.75x
so now to determin when cost would be equal we set the two equations = to each other
105 + 9.50x = 14.75x
now solve for x
105 = 5.25x
20 = x
so they would have to rent 20 times to equal each other.
4, 3, 7 I hope this helped :)
( 'x' is not 144 .)
The supplement of an angle is (180 - x) .
The problem says that (2/3) of 'x' is equal to (180 - x) .
180 - x = 2/3 x
Multiply each side by 3 :
( Note: 3 x 180 = 540 .)
540 - 3x = 2x
Add 3x to each side:
540 = 5x
Divide each side by 5 :
<u>x = 108°</u> .
Answer: you would have driven 105 miles.
Step-by-step explanation: 35x3 = 105
