vehicle at different rates. At Haul-n-Save, the truck can be rented for $30,

plus $0.55 per mile.
a. Write equations for the total cost of renting a truck from each company.
b. Graph the equations on the same coordinate plane. Examine the graph
to estimate after how many miles of driving the total rental cost will be
the same from each company.
c. Check your estimate. How reasonable is your estimation?
Justify your reasoning.
