Rental car company A charges an initial fee of $35 plus $0.75 per mile. Rental car company B charges $0.50 per mile and an initial fee of $55. For what number of miles will the cost of both rental car companies be the same? True or False: 35 + 0.75x ≥ 0.5x + 55 be used to solve the real-world problem. If false, explain in detail what needs to be changed in the real-world problem so 35 + 0.75x ≥ 0.5x + 55 can be used to solve it.

Answer:

Let it be for x miles.

40+15+0.25x=45+0.35x

10 =0.1x

x=100

The mile is 45+0.35*100= 80 or 40+15+0.25*100 =80
