Answer: $95

Explanation:

Given: The flat fee for moving truck = $75

The cost per mile driven = $2

Let the truck drive x miles, then the total rental cost is given by:

C(x)=75+2(x)

When we substitute x=10 miles, we get the total rental cost as :

$C(10)=75+2(10)\\\\\Rightarrow C(10)=75+20\\\\\Rightarrow C(x)=\$95$

Hence, the rental cost for the moving truck = $95.
