Perhaps you are to decide what mileage represents the breakeven point in comparison of the costs of the two cars.

cost1 = 21500 + 0.32 m     where m is number of miles driven

cost 2 = etc.

set them equal to find m for which they cost the same. Then you know which to buy if you drive less than m or more than m.
