Write and solve an equation to find the number of miles you must drive to have the same cost for each of the car rentals. Car one $15+$0.50 Car two $25+$0.25
Added by John K.
Step 1
Let x represent the number of miles driven. For Car 1, the cost is $15 + $0.50x. For Car 2, the cost is $25 + $0.25x. Now, we set the costs equal to each other: $15 + 0.50x = 25 + 0.25x$ Show more…

A rental car company charges $0.50 per mile and a flat rate of $30.00 for any type of sedan. If m represents the number of miles driven and C(m) represents the total cost for renting a sedan, what is the linear equation that represents a cost of $130? 30 = 0.50m + 130 30 = 130m + 0.50 130 = 0.50m + 30 130 = 30m + 0.50
