Answer: 71.429 miles

Explanation:

The charge for the rental truck can be represented by the equation: y= 0.28m+80

m is the miles driven

y is the total cost

Plug in 100 for y because that’s how much you have to spend

100=0.28m+80

-80 -80

20=0.28m. Divide both sides by 0.28

71.429 miles

You can round it again if you want

71.43 or 71.4 or 71
