Math help ASAP!! Picture with problem included

Answer 1

For this case we have that the standard charge, in dollars, of a company that rents vehicles is given by:

`S = 17.75 + 0.60M`

M: Number of miles traveled.

On the other hand, the insurance charge is given by:

`I = 4.80 + 0.25M`

If we want to find the total cost of renting the vehicle, we must add both equations:

`C = 17.75 + 0.60M + 4.80 + 0.25M`

We add similar terms:

`C = 17.75 + 4.80 + 0.60M + 0.25M\\C = 22.55 + 0.85M`

Answer:

`C = 22.55 + 0.85M`

Answer 2

0.85 M + 22.55

Explanation:

We know that the total cost is the standard cost plus the insurance cost

C(M) = S(M) + I(M)

= 17.75 + .60M + 4.80+.25M

Combine like terms

= 0.85 M + 22.55
