if one car agency charges a fee of 29 dollars per day and .15 a mile and the other car agency charges 20 dollars per day and chagres .25 per mile , at what mile will the two rates be equal
------
Two equations:
A(x) = 29 + 0.15x
B(x) = 20 + 0.25x
--------
Solve::
29+0.15x = 20+0.25x
9 = 0.10x
x = 90 miles
