    Answer: she rented the car for 4 days.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the number of days for which Sonya rented the car.

    She pays a fee of $50 for the rental plus $20 each day she had the car. This means that if she rents the car of x days, the total amount that she would pay is

    20x + 50

    Suppose she pays a total for $130, it means that the number of days for which she rented the car would be

    20x + 50 = 130

    Subtracting 50 from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

    20x + 50 - 50 = 130 - 50

    20x = 80

    x = 80/20 = 4
