A truck can be rented from Company A for $130 a day plus $0.60 per mile. Company B charges $70 a day plus $0.90 per mile to rent the same truck. Find the number of miles in a day at which the rental costs for Company A and Company B are the same.

200 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that our variable is x, where x equals the amount of miles

Company A: a(x)=0.6x+130

Company B: b(x)=0.9x+70

For the first equation, you are charged 130 dollars, in addition to the 0.60 cents that you are charged per mile.

For the second equation, you are charged 70 dollars, in addition to the 0.90 cents that you are charged per mile.

You want to find how many miles it takes to make the two equations equal:

0.6x+130 = 0.9x+70 (Set them equal to each other because you are trying to find when the miles are equal and the cost is equal)

130=0.3x+70 (Subtract 0.6x from both sides)

60=0.3x (Subtract 70 from both sides)

x=200 (Divide both sides by 0.3 to find x)

Remember that x is the amount of miles, so, Company A and B would charge the same if you drove 200 miles.

the inequality is:

250c+180g≥950

step-by-step explanation:

let c denotes the number of days in a week   miyoko worked as a cryptographer.

and g denotes the number of days in a week she works as a geologist.

now we are given that she earns $250 for every day she works as a cryptographer,and earns $180 for every day she works as a geologist.

now miyoko's goal is to earn more than $950 this week.

hence, the inequality could be represented as:

250c+180g≥950
