First is to make equations for both sides.
Let x be the number of the miles.
      a be the charge of the first company
      b be the charge of the second

a=$35+$0.25(x), b=$40+$0.20(x) .
then a=b
Substitute the equations
$35+$0.25(x)=$40+$0.20(x)
$0.25x - $0.20x = $40 - $35
$0.05x = $5
x= $5/$0.05 , cancel out the unit.
x= 100

To justify substitute x to both the equations a and b.

a= 35 + 0.25(x)
a= 35 + 0.25(100)
a= 35 + 25
a= $60

b= 40 + 0.20(x)
b= 40 + 0.20(100)
b= 40 + 20
b= 60

a=b
60=60.

Find an equation of the line tangent to the curve √xy + 4y = 39 at the point (1,9)?
evablogger [386]
Find the derivative of the curve to find the line slope at the given point

sqrt(xy) + 4 dy/dx = 39

0.5(xy)^(-0.5) * (y + x dy/dx) + 4dy/dx=  0

No need to amplify simply plug in the given point ( 1,9)

0.5 ( 1 * 9)^(-0.5)* ( 9 + dy/dx) + 4dy/dx  = 0 

Solve for dy/dx

1/6( 9  + dy/dx)  = -4dy/dx

9 + dy/dx = -24 dy/dx

-25dy/dx = 9

dy/dx = -9/25

as your question implies , you know the rest of the steps.
