Algebra.Com's Answer #322089 by ccs2011(207)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! First write cost equations based on given information \n" ); document.write( "Let m be miles driven \n" ); document.write( "Plan A: \n" ); document.write( "cost = 36 + 0.22m \n" ); document.write( "Plan B: \n" ); document.write( "cost = 38 \n" ); document.write( "B will cost less if B cost is less that A cost: \n" ); document.write( "38 < 36 + .22m \n" ); document.write( "Solve for m \n" ); document.write( "Subtract 36 on both sides \n" ); document.write( "2 < .22m \n" ); document.write( "Divide by 0.22 on both sides \n" ); document.write( "9.09 < m \n" ); document.write( "Therefore, If you drive more than 9 miles Plan B is cheaper \n" ); document.write( " |
