To derive the equation that represents the total cost to rent a car, we need to consider both components of the rental fee.
1. There is a flat fee of $30.
2. There is a daily rate of $35 for each day you rent the car.
If we let \( x \) be the number of days the car is rented, the total cost \( y \) can be expressed with the equation:
\[
y = 30 + 35x
\]
Now, to find out how much it will cost to rent the car for 10 days, we can substitute \( x = 10 \) into the equation:
\[
y = 30 + 35(10)
\]
\[
y = 30 + 350
\]
\[
y = 380
\]
Therefore, the cost to rent a car for 10 days is $380.
Among the equations you provided:
- **y = 5(7x + 6)** approximates our form, but multiplying does not result in a valid representation because it is not linear in the provided rental context.
So, the final answer is:
- The correct representation for the cost is **y = 30 + 35x**, which gives a rental cost of **$380 for 10 days**.

I apologize for not considering your provided options properly. Let's analyze them correctly in the context of the total cost for renting the car.
Here are the options you provided:
1. \( y = 5(y)x, 300 \)
2. \( y = 5(6)x, 350 \)
3. \( y = 5(6x + 7), 335 \)
4. \( y = 5(7x + 6), 380 \)
Based on the cost structure provided:
- **Flat fee = $30**
- **Daily fee = $35 per day**
So the cost function should look like \( y = 30 + 35x \).
Let's reanalyze the options you provided:
1. **\( y = 5(y)x, 300 \)** - Not a proper representation of the cost. The number 300 is also not relevant here.
2. **\( y = 5(6)x, 350 \)** - This also is not a valid representation.
3. **\( y = 5(6x + 7), 335 \)** - This simplifies to \( y = 30x + 35 \) which doesn't fit our formula.
4. **\( y = 5(7x + 6), 380 \)** - This expands to \( y = 35x + 30 \), which represents the same formula as \( 30 + 35x \), and the cost for 10 days would indeed be $380.
Thus, the correct option that fits the cost to rent a car equation for 10 days is:
**\( y = 5(7x + 6), 380 \)** (which equates to a cost of $380 for 10 days).
Thank you for your patience!
