Solution

The equation relating C (the number of cars left) to R (the number of cars rented) would be: C = 24 - R. This equation is derived from the fact that Linda starts with 24 cars and then rents out R cars, leaving her with 24 - R cars.

To find the number of cars she would have left after renting 8 of them, we substitute R = 8 into the equation:

C = 24 - 8 = 16

So, Linda would have 16 cars left after renting 8 of them.
