Hamadi and aisha solve this problem in two different ways. carlos paid a total of $64 to rent a car. the rental company charges a one-time fee of $20, with an additional charge of $0.50 per mile driven. how many miles did carlos drive the rental car? use the drop-down menus to complete the sentences below. hamadi's and aisha's methods use operations to simplify the expressions in order. hamadi's method uses , but aisha's method does not.

we are given: one time fee to rent a car = $20.

additional charge per mile = $0.50 .

total rent paid by carlos = $64.

we can setup an expression for the given situation.

one time fee + charge per mile of * number of miles = total rent paid.

let us assume number of miles travelled by carlos = = x miles

so, we can setup an equation by using above expression we wrote.

20 + 0.50 * x = 64.

20 +0.50x = 64.

now, let us follow some steps to solve the equation we got.

20 is added on left side.

we always apply reverse operation in an equation to solve.

the reverse operation of addition is subtraction.

therefore, subtracting 20 from both sides, we get

20-20 +0.50x = 64-20   ( by subtraction property of equality)

now   we can see we have 0.50 in front of x. so, we need to get rid 0.50 by division property of equality.

dividing both sides by 0.50, we get

0.50x/0.50 = 44/0.50  

on simplification, we get

x=22.

therefore, carlos drove 22 miles the rental car.

the answer is: mark as brainlist.

hamadi's and aisha's methods "the same"   operations to simplify the expressions "the same"   order.

hamadi's method " a variable" , but aisha's method does not.

the answer is c.
