A car rental company charges a daily rate of $ 24 plus $ 0.10 per mile for a certain car. Suppose that you rent that car for a day and your bill (before taxes) is $ 37.00. How many miles did you drive?
Explanation: make an equation. 24 + 0.10m = 37.00. subtract 24 from both sides leaving m for miles on one side. 0.10m = 13.00. now divide both sides by 0.10 leaving m by itself and making the equation m = 130.
