The honda civic would cost $15 plus $0.50 per mile driven. the ford focus would cost $25 plus $0.25 per mile driven. create and solve an equation to represent after how many miles driven, m, the two cars would be the same price to rent.

15$+0.5*m =

25$+0.25*m =      

for the civic we get 15.50 for the first mile

for the ford we get 25.25 for the first mile

if we are to use this knowledge then brute force it we end up with 40 miles
