Complete question :
Tom will rent a car for the weekend. He can choose one of two plans. The first plan has an initial fee of $57.98 and costs an additional $0.14 per mile driven. The second plan has an initial fee of $53.98 and costs an additional $0.16 per mile driven. How many miles would Tom need to drive for the two plans to cost the same?
Answer:
200 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let miles driven = x
First option :
57.98 + 0.14x
Second option :
53.98 + 0.16x
First option = second option
57.98 + 0.14 = 53.98 + 0.16x
57.98 - 53.98 = 0.16x - 0.14x
4 = 0.02x
x = 200
200 miles
It is quite simple actually since it is simple division with the negative rules.
Just simplify the problem and use the negatives to determine if it is positive or negative. (two negatives equal a positive and one negative equals a negative)

Whatever number is the exponent if negative just move it to the right how much the number is. if it 5 with an exponent of -3 then you just move the decimal point 3 times to the right. The anwer to that question would be .005
