Systems of Linear Equations: Two Variables · Exercise 68
Use a system of linear equations with two variables and two equations to solve.
A moving company charges a flat rate of $150, and an additional $5 for each box. If a taxi service would charge $20 for each box, how many boxes would you need for it to be cheaper to use the moving company, and what would be the total cost?
