A truck rental company rents a moving truck for one day by charging $22 plus $0.11per mile.

Question

Write a linear equation that relates the cost​ C, in​ dollars, of renting the truck to the number x of miles driven. What is the cost of renting the truck if the truck is driven 134 miles? 422 miles? Type the linear equation that relates the cost​ C, in​ dollars, of renting the truck to the number of x miles driven.

Answer 1

The standard linear equation in slope interscet form is used nere. The intercept is the starting cost at zero miles or $22. The slope is the rate per mile or $0.11 . Thus the equation is c = 0.11 times x miles + 22.

For 134 miles the equation to be solved is c = 0.11(134) + 22 or 29.48 + 22 = $ 51.48. For 422:

c = 0.11(422) + 22 or 46.42 + 22 = 68.42

Answer 2

start by writing the relationship (equation)

C = 22 + 0.11x (where x is miles)

plug in the mileage given

when x = 134 miles C = 36.74

when x = 422 miles C = 68.42
