Answer 8

So if you refer to the number of miles as \(\color{red}x\) and the amount of money paid as \(\color{lime}y\)

so can you write down what the plan A represents in terms of x and y

Answer 9

And how would i write it down for plan A?

Answer 10

Like that:
Company A: $26 per day; unlimited mileage
- how many miles comp A charge of?
- no mileage limit
so x in not included in comp A.

Then the money paid is just depending on the days you will rent the car in.
\[\Large y=26"car~ rent~ cost ~per ~day"*5"number ~of~ days"\\y=26*5=130\]

agree?
