6 points Emily’s family needs to rent a moving truck to move their belongings to a different house. The rental cost for Trucks-A

-Lot is $42 per day plus $0.72 per mile. The rental cost for Move-It-Truckers is $70 per day plus $0.12 per mile. Let m represent Emily’s mileage. Write an equation to represent the cost of renting each truck, and determine what will be the number if miles for which the truck cost the same amount.

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Equation to represent the daily rental cost for each type of truck can be written as follows:

Daily rental cost for Trucks-A-Lot = 42 + 0.72m

Daily rental cost for Move-in-Truckers = 70 + 0.12m

Where, m = Emily's mileage

To determine the number of miles for which the truck cost the same amount, set both equations equal to each other and solve for m.

42 + 0.72m = 70 + 0.12m

Collect like terms

0.72m - 0.12m = 70 - 42

0.6m = 28

Divide both sides by 0.6

\frac{0.6m}{0.6} = \frac{28}{0.6}

m = 46.7

At approximately 47 miles, both trucks would cost the same amount.

Check:

Daily rental cost for Trucks-A-Lot = 42 + 0.72m

Plug in the value of x = 47

= 42 + 0.72(47) = $75.84 ≈ $76

Daily rental cost for Move-in-Truckers = 70 + 0.12m

Plug in the value of x = 47

= 70 + 0.12(47) = $75.64 ≈ $76

Solve the equation for x by graphing -2x + 3 = -3(-x) - 2
adoni [48]

Answer:

  x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of ways to solve this. One is to graph the left side of the equation, graph the right side of the equation, and look for the point where those graphs intersect. It is at x = 1. The first attached graph shows this solution.

__

Another method for solving such an equation is to subtract one side from the other and look for the value of x that makes the resulting expression zero.

  (-2x +3) -(-3(-x) -2) = 0

A graphing calculator doesn't need to have this simplified. If it is simplified, it becomes ...

  -5x +5 = 0

So, the graphed line is y = -5x+5. Its x-intercept is x=1, the solution of the original equation. The graph of this is shown in the second attachment.
