B. 90 miles

C. 100 miles

D. 120 miles

Respuesta :

Lets x is the number of miles

Car Stars Auto Rental charges $35 a day plus $0.25 per mile = 0.25x + 35
Car Express Auto Rental charges $17 a day plus $0.40 per mile =0.40x + 17 


0.25x + 35    = 0.40x + 17
0.25x -0.40x = 17 - 35
      -0.15x    = -18
               x   = -18  /  -0.15
               x   = 120

answer: D. 120 miles 

Answer:

d 120

Step-by-step explanation:

0.25x + 35    = 0.40x + 17

0.25x -0.40x = 17 - 35

     -0.15x    = -18

              x   = -18  /  -0.15

              x   = 120
