    Let the number of boxes = x

    moving company:

    Total cost = 150 + 5x

    taxi service:

    Total cost = 20x

    For the moving company to be cheaper:

    150 + 5x < 20x

    150 < 20x - 5x

    150 < 15x

    10 < x

    x > 10

    Answer: Moving company is cheaper when there is more than 10 boxes.
