Question

Diego is moving to a new apartment and plans to rent a 16-foot moving truck for the

day. When he checks the cost of different rental companies, he finds that Rent-A-
Truck costs $59.95 a day plus $0.49 per mile. Sam's U-Drive costs $81 per day plus
$0.38 per mile. Austin needs to determine the mileage at which it is better to rent
from Rent-A-Truck and the mileage at which it is better to rent from Sam's U-Drive.
Let m represent the miles driven and let c represent the total cost. Write a system of
equations that represents this situation
Write the system. You do not need to solve.

Rent-A-Truck-> 59.95+0.49m=c

Sam's U-Drive-> 81+0.38m=c
