Two car rental companies have different rental plans. Sand's Car Rental charges $50 a day and 10 cents every mile traveled. Beach Car Rental charges $60 dollars a day and no per mile charge. How many days would the trip need to be to make the costs equal, if the trip total was 300 miles? 3 days 2 days 1 week They will never be equal

hi can you help her c:
With the first rental service. They charge 10 cents per mile. If you traveled 300 miles, you pay an additional $30 for the trip. First equation: 50x + 30, where 'x' is the amount of days you rented the car
The second rental service just charges $60 per day. Second equation: 60x, x is the amount of days. What is the amount of days where they equal each other? 50x + 30 = 60x Solve for x. c:
trip total means the total distance travelled by both the cars?
A?
