    Al's Rentals charges $25 per hour to rent a sailboard and a wetsuit. Wendy's Rentals charges $20 per hour plus $15 extra for a wetsuit. Find the number of hours for which the total charges for both companies would be the same.

    Al's Rentals Cost Equation C(h) where h is the number of hours you rent a sailboard and wetsuit:
    C(h) = 25h

    Wendy's Rentals Cost Equation C(h) where h is the number of hours you rent a sailboard and wetsuit:
    C(h) = 20h + 15

    We want to set both cost equation equal to each other, and solve for h:
    20h + 15 = 25h

    Typing this equation into our search engine, we get:
    h = 3
