Answer:
-Equations:
AA=75+2x
AA=75+2x
-Company A would be cheaper.
Explanation:
-Company A: The equation would indicate that the amount the company would charge is equal to the initial fee for the rental plus the cost per mile driven for the number of miles driven:
AA=75+2x
AA=75+2(45)
AA=75+90
AA=165
-Company B: The equation would indicate that the amount the company would charge is equal to the initial fee for the rental plus the cost per mile driven for the number of miles driven:
BB=35+3x
BB=35+3(45)
BB=35+135
BB=170
According to this, if Brandon needs to drive 45 miles with the rented truck, Company A would charge $165 and Company B would charge $170 which means that Company A would be cheaper.
