20d + 0.7m = 235
Shelly spent $235 to rent a moving van. The equation above shows the relationship
between the number of days she rented the van, d, and the number of miles she drove
the van, m. If she rented the van for 3 days, how many miles did she drive the van?

Solving linear equations

From the question, we are to determine the number of miles Shelly drove the van

The given equation which shows the relationship between the number of days she rented the van, d, and the number of miles she drove the van, m is

20d + 0.7m = 235

Now, if she rented the van for 3 days, that is, d = 3

Putting the value of d = 3 into the equation to determine the value of m

We get

20(3) + 0.7m = 235

60 + 0.7m = 235

0.7m = 235 - 60

0.7m = 175

m = 175 / 0.7

m = 250

Hence, the number of miles she drove the van for is 250 miles
