Respuesta :

The true statement is that renting from Company B will be cheaper if Samir drives the truck 100 miles. Then the correct option is D.

What is a linear equation?

The linear equation is given as,

y = mx + c

Where m = the slope of the line

c is the y-intercept of the line.

Let y be the total amount and x be the number of miles.

Samir can rent a moving truck from Company A for $35 plus $0.50 per mile. Then the equation will be

y = 0.5x + 35   ....1

Company B for $25 plus $0.70 per mile. then the equation will be

y = 0.7x + 25     ....2

For the same rent, the number of miles will be

0.7x + 25 = 0.5x + 35

0.2x = 10

x = 50 miles

Renting from Company B will be cheaper if Samir drives the truck 100 miles. Then the correct option is D.
