Bob has decided to make his move to his new house easier, so he is going to rent a truck to get it all moved in one trip. He is looking at two truck rental companies. U-Haul rents a 32 ft truck for $19.95 plus 49 cents per mile driven. The formula to calculate the cost with U-Haul is C = 19.95 + 0.49x, where x represents the number of miles driven. Penske rents a truck for 69 cents per mile but has no extra fees. The formula to calculate costs for Penske is C = 0.69x, where x represents miles driven. How many miles indicate that the cost of renting a truck from U-Haul is equal to the cost of renting a truck from Penske?
equation for U haul is C = 19.95+ 0.49x equation for Penske is C = 0.69x a) cost of renting is equal equatin is 19.95 + 0.49x = 0.69x b) solving the equation 19.95 + 0.49x = 0.69x 19.95 = 0.69x - 0.49x x=99.75 x=99.75 c) inequality is 19.95 + 0.49x > 0.69x d) solving the inequality 19.95 > 0.2xx < 99.75 x<99.75 e) U haul can be used if the miles driven is less than 99.75 miles then it will be less expensive
