One car rental agency charges $0.29 per mile plus a $10 weekly fee. Another rental agency charges $.0.35 per mile with no fee. You need to rent the car for 3 weeks. Write and solve an equation to find the number of miles for which both agencies will charge the same.

166.67 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of mile for which the cost for both car rental be same is x mile

For first car rental

weekly fees charged = $10

cost of 1 mile = $0.29

cost of x miles = x*cost of 1 mile = $0.29x

total money charged by first car rental = $10 + $0.29x

For other car rental

weekly fees charged = 0

cost of 1 mile = $0.35

cost of x miles = x*cost of 1 mile = $0.35x

total money charged by other car rental = $0.29x

since we have to find miles for which charges are same

thus

total money charged by first car rental  = total money charged by other car rental

10 + 0.29x = 0.35x equation required

=> 10 = 0.35x - 0.29x

=> 10 = 0.06x

=> x = 10/0.06 = 166.67

Thus, the number of miles for which both agencies will charge the same is 166.67 miles.

step-by-step explanation:

good luck

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
