Answer:

answer is on the bottom

Step-by-step explanation:

Company 1: y=0.45x+10

company 2: y=0.30x+14

To find when they are both the same, put an equal sign and solve:

0.45x+10=0.30x+14

         -10             -10

0.45x=0.30x+4

-0.30x  -0.30x

0.15x=4

divide by 0.15 on both sides and you got ur answer :) happy to  help
