You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First I would find the number of miles
\n" ); document.write( "driven which makes the cost of the 2 plans equal
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "You are renting for 1 day
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+n+\" = the number of miles driven
\n" ); document.write( "\"+32%2A1+%2B+.09n+=+18%2A1+%2B+.12n+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.03n+=+32+-+18+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.03n+=+14+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+n+=+466.667+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "I'll reduce the number of miles driven and
\n" ); document.write( "see if the B car costs less than the A car
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+n+=+466+\"
\n" ); document.write( "A car:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+32%2A1+%2B+.09%2A466+=+32+%2B+41.94+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+32+%2B+41.94+=+73.94+\"
\n" ); document.write( "B car:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+18%2A1+%2B+.12%2A466+=+18+%2B+55.92+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+18+%2B+55.92+=+73.92+\"
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Car B costs less, so the most miles you can
\n" ); document.write( "drive so that a B car costs less than an A car is 466 mi
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
