Question

Martha wants to rent a car for a week and to pay no more than 130 how far can she drive if the car rental 94 a week plus 12 cent a mile

Answer 1

Let x be the number of mile.

Total cost is no more than 130.

As per the given statement: if the car rental 94 a week plus 12 cent a mile.

12 cent a mile means 12x

then the equation become:

`94 + 12x \leq 130`

Subtract 94 to both sides we get;

`94 + 12x-94 \leq 130-94`

Simplify:

`12x \leq 36`

Divide both sides by 12 we get;

`x \leq 3`

Therefore, 3 miles she drive if the car rental 94 a week plus 12 cent a mile.
