PLEASE DUE IN 5 MIN

Charlie is trying to choose between two bike rental companies, Jokes and Spokes and Wheeling. Jokes and Spokes charges $25 initial fee and an additional $5 for each hour rented. Wheeling charges an initial fee of $18 and an additional $6 for each hour rented.

The total cost to rent a bike from Jokes and Spokes can be represented by the equation c = 5h + 25, where h represents the number of hours rented and y represented the cost in dollars.

The total cost to rent a bike from Wheeling can be represented by the equation c = 6h +18, where h represents the number of hours rented and y represented the cost in dollars.

For how many hours of rental is the amount charged by the two companies the same? What is the cost, in dollars, of renting the bike for this many hours?
