:
a)LC:C(g)=3(g)+10......where g is th number of games rented and C is the total cost.
:
b)BV:C(g)=4(g)+7......where g is th number of games rented and C is the total cost
:
c)C(g)=3(g)+10
..C(g)=4(g)+7
:
set equations equal to each other
:
3g+10=4g+10
:
g=3
:
take g's value and plug it into either equation to find C(g). I choose LC
:
C(g)=3(3)+10
:
C(g)=19
:
so (3,19) are the point of intersection
:
d) this is the point at which both companies have the same cost
