The simultaneous Equations for both total costs are;

Company A: y = 45x + 150

Company B: y = 50x + 125

Thus, both companies charge the same amount of money for food truck permits for 5 months

How to find the equation of the total charges?

We are told that;

Company A charges a one time fee of $150 and $45 per month.

Company B charges a one time fee of $125 and $50 per month.

Thus, using the concept of the equatiom of a line In slope intercept form, we have:

Company A: y = 45x + 150

Company B: y = 50x + 125

let's use the number 5 for x as an example

45(5) + 150 = 375

50(5) + 125 = 375

So both companies charge the same amount of money for food truck permits for 5 months.

Complete question is;

Two companies allow you to pay monthly for your food truck permits. Company A charges a one time fee of $150 and $45 per month. Company B charges a one time fee of $125 and $50 per month. Write an equation or a system of equations and explain what each solution tells you about the situation
