anonymous · Answer

write a cost equation for both companies

anonymous · Answer

for company A: cost = 30 (x)  , let x = number of miles

anonymous · Answer

How Would You Set Up The Equation For Company B?

anonymous · Answer

im guessing that it costs 5500 for the first 250 miles

anonymous · Answer

and then cost goes up 35$ every mile

anonymous · Answer

i think the question is weirdly worded but this is whati think 
Company b: cost = 5500 + 35x

anonymous · Answer

wouldn't the 35x go up every time instead of just after the 250?
