Janet wants to rent a U-Haul to move her mother. She spends $225 for the move. The U-Haul costs $45 up front and $1.50 a mile. How many miles did her mother moved?

120

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for this problem is $225(total)= $45 (upfront) + $1.50m where (m) is miles driven

we can solve this algebraically with out numbers and a variable

so

225=45+1.5m

-45   -45

180=1.5m

/1.5    /1.5

120=m

So Janet drove a total of 120 miles

120 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Shes got 225 dollars total. She spends 45 dollars to purchase the uhaul. nOw we understamd that 225 - 45 = 180. Now we have 180 dollars.

assuming she spent the rest of her 180 dollars on shipping, and shipping 1.50 we need to divide,

after thats done (with a calculator) we get 120

stops on an even number.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
