Question 693708: Hello, I was wondering if you could help me on translating this into a system of equation:
U-Haul-Rent-A-Truck rents small trucks at a daily rate of $33.95 plus $0.30 per mile. Express Rent-A-Truck rents the same size truck at a daily rate of $32.95 plus $0.32 per mile. For what mileage is the cost the same?

Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
U Haul ==> r = .3x + 33.95
Express ==> r = .32x + 32.95
...
.3x + 33.95 = .32x + 32.95
33.95 - 32.95 = .32x - .3x
1 = .02x
50 = x
...
the rates are the same at highlight_green%2850%29 miles
