  1. f=35+15m
    c=34+16m

    if c>f
    34+16m>35+15m
    subtract 34 from each side, then subtract 15m from each side.

    m>1 so at 1.05 miles, the c exceeds the f.

  2. Ford rental: cost = 35 + .14x, where x is the number of miles
    Chevy rental: cost = 34 + .16x

    when is 34 + .16x > 35 + .14x
    .02x > 1
    x > 1/.02
    x > 50
