Isaac is deciding between two truck rental companies. Company A charges an initial fee of $75 for the rental plus $1.50 per mile driven. Company B charges an initial fee of $45 for the rental plus $2.50 per mile driven. Let A represent the amount Company A would charge if Isaac drives x miles, and let B represent the amount Company B would charge if Isaac drives x miles. Write an equation for each situation, in terms of x, and determine the interval of miles driven, x, for which Company A is cheaper than Company B.

Sagot :

Answer:

A= 1.50x+75  B= 2.50x+45

Company A is cheaper than Company B when x > 30 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Company A charges$75 for the rental even when driving x=0 miles, and will charge and additional $1.50 per mile driven. Therefore the amount Company A would charge for xx miles is:

A=1.50x+75

Company B charges $45 for the rental even when driving x=0 miles, and will charge and additional $2.50 per mile driven. Therefore the amount Company B would charge for x miles is:

B=2.50x+45
