let men be x
7/5 = x/(288-x)
7(288-x) =5x
2016 -7x = 5x
2016 = 12x
2016 / 12= x
x = 168

i tried that , i thought it was wrong but it was rght :) 
Brian is going to rent a truck for one day. There are two companies he can choose from, and they have the following prices.
Company A charges 
$91
 and allows unlimited mileage.
Company B has an initial fee of 
$55
 and charges an additional 
$0.90
 for every mile driven.
For what mileages will Company A charge less than Company B?
Use 
m
 for the number of miles driven, and solve your inequality for 
m
