Of renting the truck if the truck is driven 180 miles?
A) C(x) = 0.11x + 29; $48.80
B) C(x) = 0.11x - 29; -$9.20
C) C(x) = 29x + 0.11; $5220.11
D) C(x) = 0.11x + 29; $30.98

The correct linear equation is C(x) = 0.11x + 29, which represents a base charge of $29 plus $0.11 per mile. For 180 miles, the cost is $29 + (0.11 * 180) = $48.80.
