Jim rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $17.99, and there was an additional charge of 76 cents for each mile driven. Jim had to pay $236.11 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

287 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The base fee was $17.99 and an additional 76 cents ($0.76) for every mile.

We can represent the amount he will pay for rent with the equation below:

C = 17.99 + 0.76m

where m = number of miles driven

Jim paid $236.11, therefore:

236.11 = 17.99 + 0.76m

0.76m = 236.11 - 17.99

0.76m =218.12

m = 218.12 / 0.76 = 287 miles

Jim drove 287 miles.

just do 5.2 + 2 ( 7.2) and 1/3 x 3 (.9) and youv'e got your equation. 0.9( 9/10) + 7.2 ^2 = 16.4 hope i could !
