Answer:
360 miles
Explanation:
A car rental company charges a daily rate of $39 plus $0.20 per mile for a certain car. Suppose that you rent that car< for a day and your bill (before taxes) is $111. How many miles did you drive?
this can be represented by the equation:
39 + 0.2x = 111
subtract 39 from both sides:
39 + 0.2x- 39 = 111 - 39
0.2x = 72
divide both sides by 0.2:
0.2x/0.2 = 72/0.2
x = 360 miles
