First you call Use a Loser Car Rental Agency. They charge $32 a day plus 27 cents per mile. You then decide to call Lemon Leasers for a second opinion. Their daily rate is $28 plus 30 cents a mile. Produce the necessary equations to compare the rates of these two companies for day trips of various lengths.
------------------------------
Loser Rate: C(x) = 32 + 0.27x, where x is number of miles driven
------------
Lemon Rate: C(x) = 28 + 0.30x
