Lucy will rent a car for the weekend. She can choose one of two plans. The first plan has an initial fee of $49.96 and costs an additional $0.14 per mile driven. The second plan has an initial fee of $39.96 and costs an additional $0.16 per mile driven. How many miles would Lucy need to drive for the two plans to cost
the same?
[] miles
Х
5 ?

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

i need more details sorry

step-by-step explanation:

i think the answer is a.( -3, -1 )
