Answer:

Explanation:

Let the number of miles = x

Rent charged by company A = 15 + 0.5x

Rent collected by company B = 25 + 0.25x

15 + 0.5x = 25 + 0.25x

0.5x - 0.25x + 15 = 25

0.25x + 15 = 25

0.25x = 25 - 15

0.25x = 10

x = 10/0.25 = 1000/25

x = 40 miles

Rental charge for both companies is same at 40 miles
