A car rental company charges $39 per day plus 30¢ per mile. A second company charges $45 per day and 25¢ per mile. Write and solve an equation to determine the number of miles for which the cost of renting a car for one day would be the same for both companies.
--------
1st company Eq:: A(x) = 3900+30x
--------
2nd company Eq:: B(x) = 4500+25x
------------------------------
Equation:
3900+30x = 4500+25x
5x = 600
x = 120 miles
