Bob rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $18.99, and there was an additional charge of 75 cents for each mile driven. Bob had to pay $159.24 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

1.87 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

[let's say x = how many miles]

18.99 + 75x = 159.24 [write out the equation]

-18.99 -18.99 [subtraction property of equality]

75x = 140.25

___ [division property of equality]

75 75

x = 1.87

I hope this helps ! :)

step-by-step explanation:

from this example, we can see that subtracting with integers is the same as adding the opposite. we can solve using a number line or by using the saying "keep, change, change" to us solve. it is important to remember that we can subtract a negative and end up with a larger number than we started with.
