Atruck can be rented from company a for $80 a day plus $0.30 per mile. company b charges $20 a day plus $0.50 per mile to rent the same truck. find the number of miles in a day at which the rental costs for company a and company b are the same

Write equations for both companies:

Company A = 80 + 0.30x

Company B = 20 + 0.50x

X = number of miles.

Set the equations to equal and solve for x:

80 + 0.30x = 20 + 0.50x

Subtract 0.30x from both sides:

80 = 20 + 0.20x

Subtract 20 from both sides:

60 = 0.20x

Divide both sides by 0.20:

x = 60 / 0.20

x = 300

The answer is 300 miles.

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24
