Answer:

14hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Andre and Morgan are both heading to the same location i.e Florida, they will have the same distance.

Distance = Speed × Time

For Morgan:

His speed = 55mi/hr

Let his time = x

Distance covered by Morgan = 55x

For Andre

His speed = 70mi/hr

Time = x-3 (since morgan leaves 3 hours earlier than Andre)

Distance covered = 70× (x-3) = 70(x-3)miles

Since they are driving towards the same location;

55x = 70(x-3)

55x = 70x-210

55x-70x = -210

-15x = -210

x = 210/15

x = 14

Hence Morgan will have been driving 14hours before Andre catch up

Days/ cost to rent a truck 1/34 2/50 3/66 4/82 A/ C=16d B/ C= 16d + 18 C/ C= 16d + 16 D/ C=18d + 16

Use the given information as (x, y) points.
You have
(1, 34)
(2, 50)
(3, 66)
(4, 82)
The difference between renting for 1 day and 2 days is 50 - 34 = 16.
The difference between renting for 2 days and 3 days is 66 - 50 = 16
The difference between renting for 3 days and 4 days is 82 - 66 = 16
For each day you rent you pay $16.
Now look at renting for 1 day.
The rental for 1 day is $16, but for 1 day you pay $34.
$34 - $16 = $18
There is an extra $18 in the rental for every day. The $18 is fixed.
That means, to rent a truck, you must pay a fixed amount of $18 plus $16 per day.

total cost = daily cost + fixed cost
total cost =       16d    +      16
c = 16d + 18
