Question

A two-day moving truck rental from Best Rentals costs $60 and $0.35 per mile driven. A two-day moving truck rental from Easy Movers costs $80 and $0.25 per mile driven. Let m represent the number of miles driven. Which equation can be used to find the number of miles for which the rentals would cost the same amount?

Answer 1

Cost one+ fee per mile(m) one=cost two+ fee per mile(m) two, will work
60+0.35m=80+0.25m
60-60+0.35m=80-60+0.25m
0.35m=20+0.25m
-0.25m         -0.25m
0.10m=20 divide 0.10 on both sides
200=m

Answer 2

Answer:

a. 60 + 0.35 m = 80 + 0.25 m
