Number of cars owned by Rita for rentage is 29,
Let C represent the number of cars left after renting R number of cars out,
Let the equation relating them be,
[tex]29-R=C[/tex]If she rents out 9 cars, then,
[tex]\begin{gathered} R=9\text{ cars} \\ 29-R=C \\ C=29-R \\ C=29-9=20 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the number of cars she would have left, C, is 20 cars.
