Mikes movie rentals charge $3.00 for each rental plus $0.50 for each additional day. reed's rentals charge $1.50 each rental plus $1.25 for each additional day. for what number of additional days will the bill at both stores be the same

Step-by-step explanation:

What we need here is to express both charges trough equations, and then find out for which value these equations are equal.

Let X be the amount of additional days of rent.

So, Mikes Movie Rentals cost equations is:

CostMike = 3 + 0.5X

This implies that if there is no additional day (X=0), the cost is $3, if there is one additional day the cost is $3.5, for 2 days $4, and so on ...

Now lets find Reed's Rental cost.:

CostReed = 1.5 + 1.25X

And the interpretation is analogous to the one above. If there is no additional day, Reed's charge is $1.5, for 1 days $2.75, for 2 days $4

(Notice that with the examples I made about interpreting the equations I found out that for 2 days the cost of both is the same. Now lets find it analytically)

For finding the additional days that give the same costs we need to equal both equations:

3 + 0.5 X = 1.5 + 1.25 X

Lets subtract 1.5 from both sides:

3 - 1.5 + 0.5 X = 1.5 - 1.5 + 1.25 X

1.5 + 0.5 X = 1.25 X

Now subtract 0.5 X in both sides:

1.5 + 0.5 X - 0.5 X = 1.25 X - 0.5 X

1.5 = 0.75 X

Dividing both sides by 0.75:

1.5 / 0.75 = 0.75 X / 0.75

2 = X

So, for 2 additional days bith charges are equal.  

answer: the answer to your question is parallel

2. angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:  

we have been given a diagram of a circle and we are told that measure of arc qvt is 156 degrees.  

we can see from our given diagram that angle qrt and angle qst subtends to arc qvt.

since we know that angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are always equal.

by angle subtended by same arc theorem, measure of angle qrt and angle qst will be equal to the measure of arc qvt.

therefore, angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees and 2nd statement is the correct choice.
