follow the steps below and answer the questions.
a car rental agency charges $10 to reserve a car and $25 per day. you have $160 to spend on the rental car.
what is the maximum number of days you can rent a car?

• an unlimited number of days
• five days
• seven days
• six days

taking 160 ≥ 10 + 25d, we proceed to solve for d.
which inequality below do we get next? select
a. 135 ≥ 10 + d
b. 150 ≥ 25d
c. 160 ≥ 25d
d. 150 ≤ 25d

Explanation:

Step1: Solve the inequality \(160\geq10 + 25d\)

Subtract \(10\) from both sides: \(160-10\geq25d\), so \(150\geq25d\).

Step2: Solve for \(d\)

Divide both sides by \(25\): \(\frac{150}{25}\geq d\), which gives \(d\leq6\).

Answer:

B. \(150\geq25d\); Six days.
