Question

Write and solve an equation to find the number of miles you must drive to have the same cost for each of the car rentals.

$15 plus $0.50 per mile $25 plus $0.25 per mile
Please help and explain not just give the answer.

Answer 1

15+0.50x=25+0.25x
-0.25x -0.25x
15+0.25x=25
-15 -15
0.25x=10
Then divide by 0.25 on each side
x=40
