Garrett will rent a car for the weekend. you can choose one of two plans. the first plan has an initial fee of $57 in cost an additional eight cents per mile driven. the second plan as an initial fee of $50 in cost an additional $.12 per mile driven. for what amount of driving to do the two plans cost the same?

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.

you can first factor out the n to get n(1+5). we know that 1+5 is 6, so we just have 6n.

the answer is simply just 6n add the two together as they have an n

i think the amount would be $140.62
