Answer:

x = (-158)/87

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

38 x + 7 x + 7 x + 7 x + 7×4 (x + 7) = 38

Hint: | Multiply 7 and 4 together.

7×4 = 28:

38 x + 7 x + 7 x + 7 x + 28 (x + 7) = 38

Hint: | Group like terms in 38 x + 7 x + 7 x + 7 x + 28 (x + 7).

Grouping like terms, 38 x + 7 x + 7 x + 7 x + 28 (x + 7) = 28 (x + 7) + (38 x + 7 x + 7 x + 7 x):

28 (x + 7) + (38 x + 7 x + 7 x + 7 x) = 38

Hint: | Add like terms in 38 x + 7 x + 7 x + 7 x.

38 x + 7 x + 7 x + 7 x = 59 x:

28 (x + 7) + 59 x = 38

Hint: | Distribute 28 over x + 7.

28 (x + 7) = 28 x + 196:

28 x + 196 + 59 x = 38

Hint: | Add like terms in 59 x + 28 x + 196.

28 x + 59 x = 87 x:

87 x + 196 = 38

Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Subtract 196 from both sides:

87 x + (196 - 196) = 38 - 196

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

196 - 196 = 0:

87 x = 38 - 196

Hint: | Evaluate 38 - 196.

38 - 196 = -158:

87 x = -158

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides of 87 x = -158 by 87:

(87 x)/87 = (-158)/87

Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.

87/87 = 1:

Answer: x = (-158)/87

Answer:

x\approx 267\ miles

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Linear Modeling</u>

Some events can be modeled as linear functions. If we are in a situation where a linear model is suitable, then we need two sample points to make the model and predict unknown behaviors.

The linear function can be expressed in the slope-intercept format:

f(x)=mx+b

For the problem at hand, we must pick the adequate variables according to the data provided.

The question states the charge for renting a car is a function of the mileage. It also provides two points from which we can build our model. Let's set the following variables:

c = the charge for renting a car in dollars

x = the distance driven by the businessman in miles

Representing the ordered pair as (x,c), we have the points: (150,79) and (65,63.70). Our model will be expressed as:

c = mx+b

We must find the values of m and b with the data provided. Substituting the first point:

79 = 150m+b

Substituting the second point:

63.70 = 65m+b

Both equations form the following system:

\left\{\begin{matrix}150m+b=79\\ 65m+b=63.70 \end{matrix}\right.

Subtracting both equations:

150m-65m=79-63.70

Note the variable b was canceled out in the operation, leaving only the variable m to solve. Joining like terms:

85m=15.3

Solving:

m=15.3/85=0.18

From the first equation

79 = 150m+b

Solving for b:

b=79-150m=79-150(0.18) = 52.

The model for the problem is:

c=0.18x+52

Now we need to calculate how many miles (x) could be driven for c=$100. From the equation above, substitute c=100

100=0.18x+52

Solve for x:

0.18x+52=100

0.18x=100-52=48

x=48/0.18=266.67

Rounding to the closest integer:

\boxed{x\approx 267\ miles}
