Answer:

5x - y = 10x + 3y = 4

5x - y = 4..... 1

10x + 3y = 4.....2

multiply by -2 in eq 1 in both sides

-10x + 2y = -8

10x +3y = 4

eliminate one variable by adding the equations

5y = -4

y = - 4/5

sub the value of y in..1

5x - y = 4

5x + 4/5 = 4

5x = 16/5

divide by 5 on both sides

x = 16/25

(x ; y)

(16/25 ; -4/5)

son4ous [18]

Answer:

$\$50+\$31.5x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the number of days

y----> the cost of renting a car

we know that

For $x$

$y=\$50+\$35x$

For $x\geq 7\ days$

The rate is equal to

$0.90*\$35=\$31.5$

$y=\$50+\$31.5x$

In this problem. the car has been rented for more than a week

therefore

$x> 7\ days$

The cost of renting a car is equal to

$y=\$50+\$31.5x$
