The cost to rent a rug-cleaning machine from the supermarket is $23 per day. The supermarket charges a check-out fee of $45 for the rental. Tristanne spent $137 to rent the rug-cleaning machine. If d represents the number of days Tristanne rents the machine, which equation can be used to find the value of d?

d represents the number of days Tristanne rents the machine

the rent is $23 per day, so for "d" days its 23d

check out fee is $45

total amount is $137

forming an equation

137=45+23d
