Answer: Equation: 17.95 + 0.18x = 40
122.5 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the rental fee is $17.95 then it will not change in any situation plus 18 cents per mile driven, then we can represent that by the expression ,
17.95 + 0.18x where x is the number of miles driven.
She has $40 so we will set the expression to equal $40.
17.95 + 0.18x = 40 Now to solve for x subtract 17.95 from both sides
-17.95 -17.95
0.18x = 22.05 Divide both sides by 0.18
x = 122.5
