Ace Transport has acquired two trucks to carry different types of cargo

Ace Transport has acquired two trucks to carry different types of cargo. One costs $70,000; the other costs $52,000. The company expects that the first will last 165,000 miles, after which it can be sold for salvage for about $4,000. The other will fetch the same salvage price, but will last 200,000 miles. The two trucks convoy together, so they always show the same mileage readings. If the value of each truck declines at different constant rates for every mile driven, at what mileage reading will the residual values of the two trucks be equal?
