    113 miles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    given the 2 equations that define the cost c for each company based on the number of miles, m driven

    Ace: c = 15 + 0.23m

    Acme : c = 24 + 0.15m

    we want to find m when c is the same

    hence we can equate both equations

    15 + 0.23m = 24 + 0.15m

    0.23m - 0.15m = 24 - 15

    0.08m = 9

    m = 9/0.08

    m = 112.5 (~=113 miles)
