Answer:
The total cost will be the same for both companies after 20 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, I wrote the equations:
Laguna's Truck Rentals: 2x + 20
Salvatori's truck rentals: 3x
To find when the total cost for both companies will be the same, I kept substituting numbers for the variable until it worked. So, the total cost for both companies will be the same after 20 miles. Hope this helped!
16+5x =8x-5
Reorder the terms
16+5x = -5+8x
Solving for variable for x
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add -8x to each side of the equation.
16+ -3x = -5 + 8x + -8x
Combine like terms: 5x + -8x=-3x
16+-3x = -5 + 8x + -8x
Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0
16+-3x = -5 + 0
16+ -3x = -5
Add -16 to each side of the equation
16+-16 + -3x = -5 + 16
Combine like terms: 16+ -16 = 0
0 + -3x =-5 + -16
-3x = -5 + -16
combine like terms: -5 + -16 = -21
-3x = -21
Divide each side by -3
x=7
-7 because 56 divided by 8 is 7 but since we are using division with negatives and positives a positive + a negative = a negative
so your answer is -7

Answer:
The minimum would be 4,500, and the maximum would be 4,700.
Step-by-step explanation:
If I am not mistaken, you simply need to add or subtract 100 to find the minimum or maximum, as it stated that 4,600 is an estimate that is valid for a range of 100 (up or down).
