Answer:
15x + 40 = 115
We set the equation to 115 because the total cost is $115.
We add the "+ 40" because of the $40 to rent the trailer for the day.
The 15x is because it represents the miles per hour (x) times the number of hours.
The number of hours times the charge per mile, plus the $40 to rent it, will equal $115.
Hope this helps!!

Answer: 5 benches and 23 students
Step-by-step explanation:
I will answer in English.
We have E students and B benches.
If we sit 4 students per bench, we have 3 students left.
then:
E = 4*B + 3
And if we sit 5 students per bench, there are two places with no students sited.
E = 5*B - 2
now we can replace the E in the second equation with the right part in the first equation:
4*B + 3 = 5*B - 2
3 + 2 = 5*B - 4*B
5 = B
So we have 5 benches, and:
E = 4*5 + 3 = 23 students.
