Answer:
B. (10, 2000)
Step-by-step explanation:
5000 - 300t = 1400ft - 1200f
=> t = 10
10 => (5000 - 300t) = 2000
So the answer is B. (10, 2000)

By looking at this question my best bet is The third one.
Answer:
The number of miles at which a car rented from either company cost the same amount is <u>50 miles</u>.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represents the number of miles at which a car rented from either company cost the same amount. Therefore, we can have the following equation:
RC = 25 + 0.14x ....................... (1)
BC = 23 + 0.18x ...................... (2)
Where;
RC = Total cost of Rent-Me Rent-A-Car
BC = Total cost of Better Deal Rental Car
The the cost of the two companies equal where RC = BC. Therefore, we equate equations (1) and (2) and solve for x as follows:
25 + 0.14x = 23 + 0.18x
25 - 23 = 0.18x - 0.14x
2 = 0.04x
x = 2 / 0.04
x = 50
Therefore, the number of miles at which a car rented from either company cost the same amount is <u>50 miles</u>.
<u>Note:</u>
This can be confirmed for equations (1) and (2) individually by substituting for x = 50 as follows:
For equation (1):
RC = 25 + 0.14(50)
RC = 25 + 7
RC = 32
For equation (2):
BC = 23 + 0.18(50)
BC = 23 + 9
BC = 32
Therefore, RC = BC = 32 confirms the answer.
