Question 998507: John rented a car for $18 plus $0.10 per Km. George also rented a car for $25 plus $0.05 per Km. If each drove x km and each was charged exactly the same amount for the rental, then x equals. Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Your task is to find x when their charges are set equal, so...
18 + .10x = 25 + .05x
Collect like terms and get
.05x = 7
Divide by .05 and get
x = 140 km driven
