Algebra.Com's Answer #630922 by addingup(3677) You can put this solution on YOUR website! What you are saying is that you would like to know when: \n" ); document.write( "55+0.90m > 73 Subtract 55 from both sides: \n" ); document.write( "0.90m > 18 divide both sides by 0.90 \n" ); document.write( "m > 20 You must drive less than miles for company A to be cheaper (at exactly 20 miles they are both the same; at over 20 miles B is cheaper) \n" ); document.write( " |
