Answer:

7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

let the total charges be y and the number of hours be x

Company A charges

$60 reservation fee plus another $15 per hour.

so

y=60+15x----------1

Company B charges

$25 reservation fee plus another $20 per hour

y=25+20x------------2

Step two:

equate the 2 expressions above we have

60+15x=25+20x

collect like terms

60-25=20x-15x

35=5x

divide both sides by 5

x= 35/5

x= 7 hours
