Question 1164587: Loudon Car Rental Company charges a $30 fee for the first 50 miles a compact car is driven. There is a $0.25 charge for every mile the car is driven over 50 miles. (So, there is no per mile charge for 0 - 50 miles driven).
(a) Write an equation that can be used to determine a car renter’s bill, B(x), given the amount of miles driven is called, x. Assume that the renter will drive over 50 miles before returning the car.
I put 30+ 0.25x is that correct

You can put this solution on YOUR website! no - unfortunately, it's not correct.
it's 30 + .25 * (x - 50), assuming the renter will drive over 50 miles before returning the car.
the 30 is for the first 50 miles.
the .25 * (x - 50) is for the number of miles greater than 50.
example:
the renter goes 200 miles.
the charge is 30 for the first 50 miles and .25 * (200 - 50) for the remaining 150 miles.
