Arental car agency charges a flat rate of $13 plus $.15 per mile to rent a certain car another agency charges $15 plus $.10 per mile to rent the same car how many miles will have to be driven for the cost of a car from the first agency to equal the cost of a car from the second agency

40 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem easily, we can do it using simply equations, denoting "x" as the number of miles.

Equation 1:

13 + 0.15x

Equation 2:

15 + 0.10x

Now, let's combine both equations and solve for X:

13 + 0.15x = 15 + 0.10x

0.15x - 0.10x = 15 - 13

0.05x = 2

x = 2/0.05

x = 40 miles

Therefore, the car of the first agency will have to drive 40 miles to equal the cost of the car from the second agency.

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.
