Bob's car rental company makes you pay 10 dollars per day you rent the car and a 30 dollar insurance fee
joe's car rental company makes you pay 30 dollars per day you rent the car and a 10 dollar insurance fee
how many days do you need to rent a car for the cost for renting both are the same
bob=10x+30
joe=30x+10
set each to each other
10x+30=30x+10
subtract 10x
30=20x+10
subtract 10
20=20x
divide both sides by 20
1=x
you need to rent 1 day for them to be equal
Let X be the variable used to represent the expression of the total number of books that Mario has read.
We used 4X to represent "four times the number of books". Then we add -2 to interpret the words "for two less than".
Therefore, we have an expression of 4X-2 for the total number of books that Mario has read.
Answer:
X = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract 14 from both sides
6x = 6
divide both sides by 7
X = 1
