Chau 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. Chau had to pay $198.50 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Let's say John drove 2 miles. He had to pay the base fee of $18.99 and $.75(2) = $1.50, so he paid $20.49 total.

We are given his total, though, and asked to find the mileage.

18.99 + .75m = 199.74

-18.99 -18.99

.75m = 180.75

.75 .75

m = 241

So, John drove 241 miles.

Hope this helps!

you probably already have the answer but anyways it's b. 15.0

step-by-step explanation:

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
