Suppose company A charges a rate of $40 per day and Company B charges a $60 fee plus $40 per day. For what number of days is the cost the same?

40d = 60 + 40d
d has no solution. Are you sure it was 40 days for both Company A and B?

Yes, $40 for both. This was my son's 8th grade problem. They are learning integers with special cases, so this makes sense, I hope. Thank you so much for responding. I did have this written, but I wasn't certain it was correct.
