River Y

c=33

This has a flat cost no matter what the hours

River Z

c = 5n + 13 where n is the hours and 13 is the deposit

Solving the equations

We set the two equations equal to each other when the cost is the same

33 = 5n+13

Subtract 13 from each side

33-13 = 5n

20 = 5n

Divide each side by 5

20/5 = 5n/5

4 = n

They would be the same cost at 4 hours rental.
