U-haul rents a truck for $49.95 + $.75 per mile. abc truck rental rents the same truck for $59.95 and $.50 per mile. the equation representing u-haul is y=.75x + 49.95 and the equation for abc truck rental is y= .50x + 59.95. find the number of miles where the cost to rent the trucks will be the same

 40 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of miles and y represent the total cost

U-Haul: y = 0.75x + 49.95

ABC:     y = 0.50x + 59.95

Use substitution method to solve for x:

0.75x + 49.95 = 0.50x + 59.95

0.25x + 49.95 =              59.95         subtracted 0.50x from both sides

0.25x               =              10.00          subtracted 49.95 from both sides

                   x   =    40                        divided 0.25 from both sides

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
