Answer:

Explanation:

For what mileages will company A (which has a flat rate of $111) be less than the cost for company B

Company A < Company B

111 < 75 + 0.80m

solving

111 - 75 < 75 - 75 + 0.80m

36 < 0.80m

36/0.80 < 0.80m/0.80

as we are dividing by a positive number, we don't have to change the direction of the < sign.

45 < m

or m > 45

so if Ali intends to drive more than 45 miles, Company A's vehicle will be less expensive to rent
