Answer:

138 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be written in an equation as y=($0.99)x + ($18.95), where the initial value is $18.95 (same as a y -intercept), and then the slope would be $0.99 times x, the number of miles driven.

In this case, you then calculate:

$155.57 = ($0.99) × X + $18.95

Subtract the $18.95 from both sides to get:

$136.62 = ($0.99) X

Divide $0.99 from both sides to get:

138 = x

I also liked this question because the guy who rented the truck was named Keith.

Answer:

138 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

You would have to find the difference between $18.95 and $155.57. When you find the total which is $136.62, you would need to divide it by $0.99. That is what will give you the number of miles that Teeth drove.
