a truck rental company rents a moving truck for one day by charging $20 plus $0.05 per mile. Write a linear equation that relates the cost C, in dollars, of renting the truck to the number x of miles driven. waht is the cost of renting the truck if the truck is driven 107 miles

The linear equation that relates the cost C, in dollars, of renting the truck to the number x of miles driven is 0.05*x + 20 and the cost of renting the truck if the truck is driven 107 miles is 25.35.

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function is a polynomial function of the first degree that has the form:

f (x) = y = m*x + b

where m is the slope of the function and b is the y-intercept.

The graph of a linear function is always a line.

A truck rental company rents a moving truck for one day by charging $20 plus $0.05 per mile. So, the number of miles travel is represented by "x"  and the cost per mile is represented by "c". The y-intercept is the starting cost at zero miles or $20.  The slope is the rate per mile or $0.05. Then:

c= 0.05*x + 20

If the truck is driven 107 miles, then:

c= 0.05* 107 + 20

Solving:

c= 25.35

So, the linear equation that relates the cost C, in dollars, of renting the truck to the number x of miles driven is 0.05*x + 20 and the cost of renting the truck if the truck is driven 107 miles is 25.35.
