Question 638616: I am not sure how to solve this, and my textbook does not have an example.
A man is considering two companies to rent a truck from. Triangle Truck Rental chanrges $30 per day and 40 cents a mile. Circle Rent A Truck $55 a day and 30 cents a mile. How far would he need to drive in one day for both of the companies to have the same total cost?
How mant miles would he need to dive in the day?

Triangle Truck Rental chanrges $30 per day and 40 cents a mile.
C= 30+0.4m
where m is the number of miles & c is the total cost
Circle Rent A Truck $55 a day and 30 cents a mile.
c= 55+0.3m
If c= same then
30+0.4m = 55+0.3m
0.4m-0.3m = 55-30
0.1m = 25
m = 250 miles.
for 250 miles the cost will be the same
