8/24 = x / 48
cross multiply
(24)(x) = (8)(48)
24x = 384
x = 384/24
x = 16 <===
believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The constant term of the expression represent the <span>fixed rental for the book which has a value of 2. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

If it is

=2c+9, go to AAAAAA
if it is (

)(4c+16)=2c+9, go to BBBBB
AAAAAAAAA

=2c+9

=2c+9
times 4c+16 to both sides
1=(2c+9)(4c+16)
distribute
1=8c^2+68c+144
minus 1 both sides
0=8c^2+68c+143
use quadratic formula
c=

or

BBBBBBBBBBBB
(3/3)(4c+16)=2c+9
1(4c+16)=2c+9
4c+16=2c+9
minus 2c both sides
2c+16=9
minus 16 both sides
2c=-7
divide both sides by 2
c=-7/2
c=-3.5
if it is

=2c+9,
c=

or

if it is (

)(4c+16)=2c+9, c=-3.5
