By solving a linear equation, we will see that the total cost for renting the bus is $90.
<h3>What was the total cost of renting the bus, in dollars?</h3>
Let's say that the total cost is C.
When there are 20 students, each student should pay:
p = C/20
When the other 10 students are added (for a total of 30) each student pays:
p' = C/30.
We know that the cost for each of the original 20 students decreased by $1.50, so:
p' = p - $1.50
Then we have 3 equations to work with:
p = C/20
p' = C/30.
p' = p - $1.50
Now we can replace the first and second equations into the third one:
C/30 = C/20 - $1.50
Now we can solve this linear equation for C:
C/20 - C/30 = $1.50
C*( 1/20 - 1/30) = $1.50
C*(30/600 - 20/600) = $1.50
C*(10/600) = $1.50
C*(1/60) = $1.50
C = 60*$1.50 = $90
So the total cost for renting the bus is $90.

Answer: x = 6.46153846
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the equation <em>13x - 4 +100 = 180</em>, and we must find the value of <em>x</em>. In order to do that get x on on one side by itself and a constant on the other side by itself.
This first step is to combine like terms. <em>13x</em> is by itself. <em>-4 + 100 = 96</em>. This gives us the equation <em>13x +96 = 180</em>.
In order to get <em>x </em>by itself, subtract 96 from each side of the equation. This gives us the equation 13x = 84.
Next, divide each side by 13 to find x. This gives us x = 6.46153846
Hope this helps! Have a nice day!
Answer: 3t²(2st⁷ - s⁶ - 2t⁵)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
5s⁶t² + 6st⁹ - 8s⁶t² - 6t⁷ <em>5s⁶t² and - 8s⁶t² are like terms which = -3s⁶t² when combined</em>
= 6st⁹ - 3s⁶t² - 6t⁷ <em>next, factor out the GCF of 3t²</em>
= 3t²(2st⁷ - s⁶ - 2t⁵)
