If a = b and b = c, then a = c. If a = b, then a + c = b + c. If a = b, then a – c = b – c. If a = b, then ac = bc. a c If a = b, then = , b d where c 0. Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston.

She paid a total of $84. How many miles did she drive? x = number of miles that Arlene drove 0.2x + 30 = 84 0.2x = 54 x = 270 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston.
