    The miles travel by trucks after that cost of both companies be same is 20 miles.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given as:

    The rentals charge for Laguna's Truck company = $20 + $2 per miles

    The rentals charge for Salvatori's Truck company = $3 per miles

    Let The miles travel by trucks after that cost of both companies be same = x miles

    According to question

    The rentals charge for Laguna's Truck company = The rentals charge for Salvatori's Truck company

    i. e $20 + $2 * per miles travel = $3 * per miles travel

    Or, $20 + $2 * x miles = $3 * x

    Or, $20 = $3 * x miles - $2 * x

    Or, $20 = ($3 - $2) * x

    Or, 20 = x

    Or, x = 20 miles

    So, The miles travel by trucks after that cost of both companies be same = x = 20 miles

    Hence, The miles travel by trucks after that cost of both companies be same is 20 miles. Answer
