Question 1088265: Anita can rent a car for a day from Smooth Rent A Car for $60 plus $0.75/km or from Zippy Car Rental for $ 1.25/km.

B) calculate the number of km for which the rental charges from either company will be the same. Show all of your work.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 60+0.75x = Smooth
1.25x = Zippy
--------------------------
60+0.75x = 1.25x
-0.50x = -60
x = -60/-0.50 use your calculator, divide. Remember -/- = + so you can ignore the -sign, your answer will be a positive number anyway.
