Question

Deshaun rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $18.95, and there was an additional charge of 95 cents for each mile driven. Deshaun had to pay $187.10 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Answer 1

Answer: Deshaun drove 177 miles

Explanation:

First,your equation is 18.95+0.95x=187.10 you have to subtract 18.95 from 187.10. Then, your equation should be

0.95x=168.15 now you need to get x by itself so you have to divide 168.15 by 0.95 which is 177 so Deshaun drove 177 miles :)
