TGM Original

Company \(X\) quotes a car rental rate of \(\$65\) per day.

Company \(Y\) quotes a rate of \(\$56\) per day with an additional initial charge of \(\$86.50\).

Let \(x\) be the number of days to rent a car.

Form an inequality in \(x\) and use it to find the minimum number of complete days required such that charges of Company \(Y\) will become cheaper than Company \(X\).
