\n" ); document.write( "1st agency cost = 29+0.08x for x miles of driving.
\n" ); document.write( "2nd agency cost = 18+0.15x for x miles of driving.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "When are the costs equal?
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "29+0.08x=18+0.15x
\n" ); document.write( "11 = 0.07x
\n" ); document.write( "x = 157.143 miles
\n" ); document.write( "Costs will be equal when the driver drives 157.143 miles
