D=60. multiply both sides of the equation by 4 since it’s a factor, giving you 2d-20-d=40. since there are like terms with d, collect them to get d-20=40 and move 20 to the right and change it’s sign. that will give you d=40+20, then calculate to get d=60. hope this helped! :)
The first numerator is 3 and the second is 17 not 2
T= # of rental hours
Reservation Fee= $31
Per Hour Fee= $7.40
Multiply number of hours rented by the cost per hour, add that total to the reservation fee. The total needs to be less than $97.60.
Res Fee + ($ per hr * # hrs) < $97.60
$31 + $7.40t < $97.60
subtract 31 from both sides
7.40t < 66.60
divide both sides by 7.40
t < 9
ANSWER: To spend less than $97.60, they need to rent the room less than 9 hours.
Hope this helps! :)
Pretty sure the answer is 8
