Mr Tom is going to move and needs to rent a moving truck. Company A charges a rate of $40 per day. Company B charges a $60 fee and also a $20 per day rate. For what number of days would the cost be the same? Also, if Mr. Tom needs the truck for only 2 days, which company should he use? HELP LOTS OF POINTS ASAP

3 days are required for the same cost, and if Mr. Tom wants to rent for two days, then Company A would be cheaper

Step-by-step explanation:

40x = 60 + 20x

20x = 60

x=3

This is for the number of days they will be the same

2 days:

80 = 60 + 40

80 = 100

This compares the rates

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3

the system of inequalities is
