Answer:

52 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

Buckeye truck rentals

daily rate of $59.99

plus $0.34/mile

let the number of miles be x

and the total charge be y

so

y= 0.34x+59.99---------------1

Goodyear truck rentals

daily rate of 58.95

plus $0.36/mile

let the number of miles be x

and the total charge be y

so

y= 0.36x+58.95---------------2

Step two:

Equate the two equations above to find x

0.34x+59.99=0.36x+58.95

collect like terms

59.99-58.95=0.36x-0.34x

1.04=0.02x

divide both sides by 0.02

x= 1.04/0.02

x=52 miles
