Self-driving taxi service charges $5 per pickup and $0.25 per mile. We’ll Get You. There’s cabs charges $1 per pickup and $0.50 per mile. At how many miles will the two companies charge you the same amount?

Let y = total cost of the taxi service.

let x = amount of miles

We need to create a system of equations to solve this problem.

Taxi company 1:  y = $0.25x + $5

Taxi company 2: y = $0.50x + $1

Set the equations equal to each other

$0.25x + $5 = $0.50x +$1.

Subtract $0.25x from both sides and subtract $1 from both sides.

$4 = $0.25x

Divide both sides by $0.25.

16 miles = x

The companies will charge the same amount of money at 16 miles

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !

2x^2+5x+17

your welcome. : )
