Question

Nicolas wants to rent a carpet shampoo machine. Store A charges a flat fee of $25 plus $8 for each day a customer keeps the machine. Store B charges a flat fee of $35 plis a $5 for each day a customer keeps the machine. Write an equation he can use to find the number of days he could rent the machine from either store and pay the same amount. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

8x+25=5x+35 (x=10/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for Store A would be: y(cost) = 8x(days) + 25

The equation for Store B would be: y = 5x + 35

So, since he wants the cost to be the same, 8x+25=5x+35
