A car rental company charges an initial fee plus an additional fee for each mile driven. The charge depends on the type of car: economy or luxury. The charge E (in dollars) to rent an economy car is given by the function E =0.80 M+11.95, where M is the number of miles driven. The charge L (in dollars)
to rent a luxury car is given by the function L=1.15 M+21.40.
Let C be how much more it costs to rent a luxury car than an economy car (in dollars). Write an equation relating C to M. Simplify your answer as much as
possible.

question:

could we have options?

answer: it actually depends on which is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable. let us say we're looking at a linear equation. y=2x+3. we theoretically could switch the equation to be x=(y-3)/2 and it would be the same line. so either a causes b or it can be that b causes a. so technically the answer is false

step-by-step explanation:

a. (14,375+570)(5.3) b. 158,417$

step-by-step explanation:

a. you are basically just setting up the equation. f= amount of debt hence 14,375. g= how much she is borrowing from her parents weekly hence 570 and t= the interest on her debt. creating the equation.

b.   14,375+570= 14,945

      14,945 x 5.3 = 79,208.5

      79,208.5 x 2(years) = 158,417(answer)
