I NEED HELP Quick!!
A moving-van rental company uses the polynomial 84 + 0.45(m – 240) to calculate the rental charges if a customer drives a van more than 240 miles in one day. In the polynomial, m is the total number of miles that the customer drove the van during the day. Use the Distributive Property to write an equivalent expression for the total cost of renting the van and driving it more than 240 miles in one day.

Respuesta :

I think it would be 84 + 0.45m + 108.
Which simplified could be 0.45m + 192. Hope it helps! :)

Equivalent expression for the total cost of renting the van is equals to  0.45m -24 .

What is equivalent expression?

"Equivalent expression is defined as the expression with different numerator and denominator in multiple or factor form of the given number but representing the same value."

Property used

Distribution property multiplication over subtraction

[tex]a(b-c) = ab - ac[/tex]

According to the question,

Given expression,

[tex]84 + 0.45(m -240)[/tex]

Total number of miles = 'm'

Apply distribution property to get equivalent expression,

[tex]84 + 0.45m-108\\\\=0.45m-24[/tex]

Hence, equivalent expression for the total cost of renting the van is equals to  0.45m -24 .
