Hank's Bicycle Rentals charges an initial fee of $15 and an hourly rate of $5 to rent a bicycle. Maria’s Bicycle Rentals has the same hourly rate but charges an initial fee of $12. To find the number of hours for which the two rental companies would charge the same amount to rent the bicycle, Cindy writes and solves the equation shown below.
 $15+5x=12+5x$  
Which statement describes the number of hours for which the two rental companies charge the same amount to rent a bicycle?

• The two companies charge the same amount to rent a bicycle for  $\frac{3}{5}$  hour. 

• The two companies charge the same amount to rent a bicycle for 3 hours.

• The two companies never charge the same amount to rent a bicycle for the same number of hours.

• The two companies always charge the same amount to rent a bicycle for the same number of hours.
