Question 131078: please help me solve this problem
Ron will rent a car for the weekend. He can choose one of two payment plans. The first plan costs $59.96 for two days plus 15 cents per mile. The second plan costs $55.96 for two days plus 19 cents per mile. How many miles does Ron need to drive for the two plans to cost the same?

59.96+.15x=55.96+.19x
.15x-.19x=55.96-59.96
-.04x=-4
x=-4/-.04
x=100 miles is the same price for both plans.
