One car rental company charges $35 for the rental, plus $2 per mile driven. A second rental car company charges $20 for the
rental, plus $5 per mile driven. At how many miles will the two companies cost the same?

*give a numeric answer only. Do not include units or work*

Answer 1

Company A will be at 5 miles

A= 35 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 45

B= 25 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 45
