Answer 1

looks like you are solving

15e-8 + e = 24

and

78.75 = 9.75d + 20

what did you get?

Answer 2

Answer for #1 is Elizabeth is 2 and Lyn is 22

For #2 am not sure for this one, please solve

Thanks

Answer 3

78.50 = 9.75d + 20
78.50 - 20 = 9.75d
9.75d = 58.50
d = 58.50/9.75 = 6

so he rented the canoe for 6 days
