\n" ); document.write( "First plan:: F(x) = 42+0.18x
\n" ); document.write( "Second plan:: S(x) = 51+0.13x
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "For what amount of driving/miles do the two plans cost the same?
\n" ); document.write( "What is the cost when the two plans cost the same?
\n" ); document.write( "Solve:: 42+0.18x = 51+0.13x
\n" ); document.write( "0.05x = 9
\n" ); document.write( "x = 180 miles
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "F(180) = 42+0.18*180 = $174.40
