You can split the combined shape into separate shapes and find the area of each of those. once you have done that add all of the areas together and that will get you your combined shapes area.
To solve this problem, you’re going to take 5.5 and divide it by 1.375. In doing so, you will get a final answer of 4 pieces.
5.5 / 1.375 = 4
Answer: she wants to rent the car for 11 days.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of additional days that Pamela wants to rent the car for.
Customers can pay $40 to rent a compact car for the first day plus $6 for each additional day. This means that the total cost of using this special for x days would be
40 + 6(x - 1) = 40 + 6x - 6
= 34 + 6x
Also, they can rent the same car for $30 the first day and $7 for every additional day beyond that. This means that the total cost of using this special for x days would be
30 + 7(x - 1) = 30 + 7x - 7
= 23 + 7x
Since she found out that the two specials are equivalent for x days, then
34 + 6x = 23 + 7x
7x - 6x = 34 - 23
x = 11
9^2*4^4 is the correct answer I believe.
