Q:

A rental company charges $75 a day and 20 cents a mile for renting a truck. michael rents a truck for 2 days, and his bill came to $238. how many miles did he drive?

Accepted Solution

A:
75(2)+.20x=238
You then solve for x by multiplying 75 by 2 to get 150. Then subtract 150 from both sides of the equation, so this is what you get .20x=88. Finally divide by .20 on both sides to get x= 440
