a.) Write the system of equations to represent the cost c for d days that you are renting the car.

b) If your vacation is 7 days long, which company would you choose?

cp123 · Answer

rental company a equation: 50d = C
rental company b equation: 30d + 40 = C
if your vacation is 7 days long, replace the D with 7. so multiple 50 by 7 to get C in the first equation, and do 30 times 7 + 40 in the second equation. choose the company that has equals the least amount of money. I hope i explained this well.
