Rent-A-Tent rents party tents for a flat fee of $365 plus $125 a day. Capital Rentals rents party tents for a flat fee of $250 plus $175 a day. Delia wrote the following equation to find the number of days for which the total cost charge for the two companies would be the same:

365x+125=250x+175

Find ans explain the error in Delia's work. Then write the correct equation.

365+125x=250+175x

X has to be the variable to go along with the number of days not the flat rate.

The reason it is wrong is because the variable is on the flat fee number ( 365 and 250). The point of the variable in this case is the amount of days someone rents a tent. Since you pay a one time fee of 365 or 250 it should not belong here instead it belongs to the 125 and 175 numbers. So the right equation is 365+125x=250+175x.
