Edina took advantage of a special offer that allowed her to rent a car for 4 days for a total of $144. If she had not taken the special offer, the car would have cost $8 more each day. How much would Edna have paid each day without the special offer?

$44/day without the special offer.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to divide 144 by 4 to find out how much each individual day costs. Do that and you get 36. Now add 8 (how much more it would cost /day without the special offer) to get $44/day without the special offer.

To find the amount of money that Edina paid each day you need to divide 144 by 4.

144 ÷ 4 = 36

Edna paid $36 each of those 4 days without the special offer. Add 8 to that amount to find the price for each day without the special offer.

36 + 8 = 44

Now multiply 44 by 4 to find the total price without the special offer.

44 × 4 = 176

Edna would have had to pay $176 without the special offer,

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
