You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x, how many miles
d, how many days

Hertz cost: 0.23x%2B21.95d
Enterprise cost: 0.19x%2B24.95d

Questions wants 0.23x%2B21.95d=0.19x%2B24.95d, and you should simplify and find any whole numbers which work.

If meant for just 1 day of rental, then let d=1; and then solve for x.
