Answer:

Enterprise charges more for a 6 day rental. ($284 for Hertz and $294 for Enterprise). Avery would save $4 if he rented with Hertz for 4 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

H = Hertz

E = Enterprise

x = Days rented

T = Total cost for x days, in $

Hertz: TH = 42x + 32

Enterprise: TE= 45x + 24

====================

6 Day Rental:

TH = 42*(6) + 32, = $284

TE = 45*(6) + 24 = $294

4 Day Rental:

TH = 42*(4) + 32, = $200

TE = 45*(4) + 24 = $204
