A truck can be rented from Company A for ​$60 a day plus ​$0.20 per mile. Company B charges ​$20 a day plus ​$0.60 per mile to rent the same truck. Find the number of miles in a day at which the rental costs for Company A and Company B are the same.

So this isn't a answer:

This is to help you understand how to do it in the future.

So we are going to let HOW MANY MILES GO BY be represented as (m)

Company A

60 + (m + .20) = final cost

Company B

20 + (m + .60) = final cost

Now you have to plug in numbers till you get your total miles left.

Have a good Day!!
