Mia is deciding between two truck rental companies. Company A charges an initial fee of $100 for the rental plus $1.50 per mile driven. Company B charges an initial fee
of $40 for the rental plus $3 per mile driven. Let A represent the amount Company A
would charge if Mia drives a miles, and let B represent the amount Company B
would charge if Mia drives a miles. Write an equation for each situation, in terms of
2, and determine the interval of miles driven, x, for which Company A is cheaper
than Company B.
A=
BE
Company A is cheaper than Company B when x
Note: The interval will only apply
valid values of ac in the domain.
