U-haul rents a truck for $49.95 + $.75 per mile. abc truck rental rents the same truck for $59.95 and $.50 per mile. the equation representing u-haul is y=.75x + 49.95 and the equation for abc truck rental is y= .50x + 59.95. find the number of miles where the cost to rent the trucks will be the same

 40 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of miles and y represent the total cost

U-Haul: y = 0.75x + 49.95

ABC:     y = 0.50x + 59.95

Use substitution method to solve for x:

0.75x + 49.95 = 0.50x + 59.95

0.25x + 49.95 =              59.95         subtracted 0.50x from both sides

0.25x               =              10.00          subtracted 49.95 from both sides

                   x   =    40                        divided 0.25 from both sides            

y=3n + 1

step-by-step explanation:

this is wrong because it says the second number is one less and i added one instead
