Answer:

20 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m be number of miles.

Laguana's Truck Rentals charges $20 plus $2 per mile.

Total cost of Laguana's Truck = [tex]20+2m[/tex]         .... (1)

Salvatori's truck rentals charges $3 per mile.  

Total cost of Salvatori's truck = [tex]3m[/tex]          ... (2)

We need to find the number of hours after that the total cost for both companies will be the same.

[tex]3m=20+2m[/tex]

[tex]3m-2m=20[/tex]

[tex]m=20[/tex]

Therefore, after 20 miles the total cost for both companies will be the same.
