Answer:This problem is about linear equations. We assume Dale drive X miles, and the total cost is $Y, then we can get:
Plan I: Y=38+0.11X
Plan II: Y=49+0.07X
When both plans cost the same, 38+0.11X=49+0.07X. We will get X = 275miles, and Y=$68.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Ii.First ,expand: 5(x-2)=32
5x-10=32
bring 10 to the other side (add it to 32)
5x=42
divide both sides by 5 to get x
x=42/5
x=8.4
iii.Expand 5+2(x+3)=21
5+2x+6=21
bring 5 and 6 to the other side
2x=21-5-6
2x=10 divide both sides by 2
x=5
800+16x=720+21x
80+16x=21x
80=5x
X=16
So 16 hours :)
This is the answer 5(x-5) and 5x-25
