Stewie wants to rent a moving truck. Suppose company a charges a rate of $40 per day band company b charges a $60 fee plus has a rate of $20 per day. For what number of days is the cost same?

The indifference point is 3 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Company A:

Total cost= 40*x

Company B:

Total cost= 60 + 20*x

x= number of days

To calculate the indifference point, we need to equal both formulas. and isolate x:

40x = 60 + 20x

20x= 60

x= 60/20

x= 3

The indifference point is 3 days.

Prove:

Company A:

Total cost= 40*3= $120

Company B:

Total cost= 60 + 20*3= $120

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
