Question 818690: ABC Truck Rental charges $20 per day plus 50 cents per mile, while Murtz Truck Rental charges $35 per day plus 40 cents per mile. How far would you have to travel in one day for the cost from both rental companies to be the same?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! abctr = 0.50x + 20
muntz = 0.40x + 35
---
0.50x + 20 = 0.40x + 35
0.50x - 0.40x = 35 - 20
0.10x = 15
x = 15/(0.10)
x = 150

answer:
the daily rental from both companies is equal when you drive 150 miles
