The answer is B.
Explanation:
If you divide exponents, you subtract the exponents.
(a) If we let x be the number of miles and y be the total cost, the equation for relating the number of miles and the total cost would be,
y = 0.4x + 48
(b) If the rental cost is 60,
60 = 0.4x + 48
The value of x from the equation is 30.
(c) You may prepare the table of values by allowing x be any number and then solve for y until we arrive with an answer for y being equal to 60.
