Frank will rent a car for the weekend. He can choose one of two plans.
\n" ); document.write( "Let m = no. of miles driven
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " The first plan has an initial fee of $59.96 and costs an additional $0.14 per mile driven.
\n" ); document.write( "C = .14m + 59.96
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The second plan has an initial fee of $49.96 and costs an additional $0.16 per mile driven.
\n" ); document.write( "C = .16m + 49.96
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "How many miles would Frank need to drive for the two plans to cost the same?
\n" ); document.write( "Plan 2 = Plan 1
\n" ); document.write( ".16m + 49.96 = .14m + 59.96
\n" ); document.write( ".16m - .14m = 59.96 - 49.96
\n" ); document.write( "you should be able finish this when you get m, check the cost in each plan \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
