The Haul it all truck rental charges $65 for a two day rental, plus $0.15 for each mile over 100 miles. Burt's total charge for a two day rental was $83.75. How many miles did he drive?

Alright yay another one :P
OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):
Basically you know the total price is 83.75
OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):
so automatically you can subtract 83.75 by 65 which is 18.75
OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):
So now you know how much he payed over for the miles extended over 100
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I got 125 miles for an answer :) is that right?

I have another problem ;)
The width of a rectangle is 1 foot shorter than half the length. The perimeter of the rectangle is 64 feet. What are the dimensions of the rectangle?
OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

:)
OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):
so basically the total is 64 because its the perimeter of the whole rectangle
OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):
alright then ┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`Д´)ノ︵ ┻━┻
OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):
so its blankity blank=64 at the current moment
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Hahaha! That's exactly what I have!!! :D

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):
you are going to have to use l and w
OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):
so w is one foot shorter than half the length
OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):
w-.5l=64 maybe
OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):
.5l-w=64

How would you solve for l and w? You need to get both of them alone, right?
OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):
well it gives you that w is 1 foot shorter than the length so not really
OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):
you have to work them together
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh! Okay :)
OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):
Wait

I am an idiot ._. I didn't work in the 1 foot
OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):
.5l-1=64
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh that makes a lot more sense! :) thank you!
OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):
basically now that you know that do you know how to find the perimeter of a rectangle?
OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):
Basically 64= 2l+2w

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):
so since its 1 foot shorter than half the length you substitute that equation with W
OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):
so 64=2l+2(.5l-1)
OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):
wait i got mixed up
OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):
so 64=2l+1l-2
OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):
64+2 is 66 so 66=3l

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):
L= 22
OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):
To find W you plug it into that equation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So then you would subtract one from 11?
OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):
W=.5l -1
OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):
? where did you get 11 lol

22+22+10+10=64
OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):
XD
boom you got it L=22 W=10 *claps*
OpenStudy (anonymous):
YAY!! Thank you so much your seriously a life saver!!!!!
OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):
xD You are welcome
