Answer:

20 comic books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first set up a variable, x, for the number of books that Zoe has. If Jared has 12 more comics than Zoe, he would have x+12 books.

Given that Zoe and Jared have a total of 28 comic books, let us write an equation and solve for x:

$x+x+12=28\\2x+12=28$

Now that we have a simplified version of the equation, let us solve for x by isolating the variable on the left side:

$2x=28-12\\2x=16\\x=8$

We now know that x=8, and also that Jared has x+12 books. To find the number of comic books Jared has, let us add 12 to x:

$x+12=\\8+12=\\20\\$

Therefore, Jared has 20 comic books.

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any further questions :)

Complete question :

Tom will rent a car for the weekend. He can choose one of two plans. The first plan has an initial fee of $57.98 and costs an additional $0.14 per mile driven. The second plan has an initial fee of $53.98 and costs an additional $0.16 per mile driven. How many miles would Tom need to drive for the two plans to cost the same?

Answer:

200 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let miles driven = x

First option :

57.98 + 0.14x

Second option :

53.98 + 0.16x

First option = second option

57.98 + 0.14 = 53.98 + 0.16x

57.98 - 53.98 = 0.16x - 0.14x

4 = 0.02x

x = 200

200 miles

a) The cost for 10 mile taxi ride is $18

b) The cost for m mile taxi ride is 1.5 m + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

The fixed charges for the pick up = $3

Charges per mile = $1.50

Let s denote the total miles driven and t be the total cost for the trip

This can be represented by the equation

t = 3 + 1.5s

Step 2:

Distance traveled by Jonathan in his trip = 10 miles

So cost for riding 10 miles is

t = 3 + 1.5(10) = 3 + 15 = $18

The cost for 10 mile taxi ride is $18

Step 3 :

If the distance traveled is m miles, then substituting s = m in the above equation we get the cost as 1.5 m + 3

Step 4 :

Answer :

a) The cost for 10 mile taxi ride is $18

b) The cost for m mile taxi ride is 1.5 m + 3
