Question

A car rental company rents cars for x dollars per day plus y dollars for each mile driven. Carlos rented a car for 4 days, drove it 160 miles, and spent $136. Vanessa rented a car for 1 day, drove it 240 miles, and spent $104.

Answer 1

x = $20/day, y = $0.35/mile

Explanation:

x = $/day, y = $/mile

4x + 160y = 136

1x + 240y = 104

You can solve by elimination or substitution.
