Question 415086: I am stuck on some of my math and could use some assitance. Please Help!!!!
You are moving to a new home. You decide to hire a moving company, but are unsure which company to choose. You search online and are interested in contacting two companies, Heavy Lifters and Quick Move, to discuss their rates. Heavy Lifters charges an $80 fee plus $35 per hour. Quick Move charges $55 per hour with no additional fees.
For what values h (hours) does Quick Move offer the better deal? Please express answer as an equality.

Let number of hours be x
Quick move charges 55x
..
Heavy lifters charges 80+35x
Quick move charges < Heavy Lifters
55x<80+35x
add -35x
55x-35x<80
20x<80
/20
x<20
For less than 20 hours Quick move is a better deal.
