You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I recategorised your question so you can get help more quickly and so other people can reference it.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Rate 1 = 72 + 0.18m\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Rate 2 = 144 + 0.09m\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Set the equations equal and you will get m = 800. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, you will need to drive at least 800 miles so that Rate 2 is more economical for you.
