Question

Mr. Gomez needs to rent a moving truck. Company "A" charges $75 plus a $50 a day and Company "B" charges $105 plus $35 a day. Write an equation that can tell after how many days would the price be the same.

Answer 1

Answer: 75+50x= 105+35x , required equation.

Explanation:

Let x = Number of days

Given: Company "A" charges $75 plus a $50 a day.

Total charge = 75+50x

Company "B" charges $105 plus $35 a day.

Total charge = 105+35x

When both are same , equation becomes

75+50x= 105+35x

So, Required equation: 75+50x= 105+35x
