    Answer:They should travel 120 mils in one day for both rental agencies to cost the same amount to rent

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A rental car agency charges $30.00 per day plus per mile $0.15.

    Let x be the number of miles travelled by car

    Their total cost = 30 + (0.15x) ... (1)

    Another rental car agency charges $36.00 per day plus $0.10 per mile

    Their total cost = 36 + (0.10x) ... (2)

    Equating (1) and (2), we get

    30 + (0.15x) = 36 + (0.10x)

    36 - 30 = 0.15x - 0.10x

    6 = 0.05x

    x = 120 miles

    They should travel 120 mils in one day for both rental agencies to cost the same amount to rent
