Bert's cab company charges $1.00 plus an additional $3.00 per mile for a ride. Madeline's cab company charges $3.00 plus an additional $2.00 per mile for a ride. At what distance in miles will the cost be the same for both companies. Please show your work



Answer :

I will use linear equation: Berts:y=3x+1. where y represents the total cost Madeline's: y=2x+3 Plug in numbers for x and you will find that the answer is 2 miles because bert: 3(2)+1=7 and Madeline: 2(2)+3=7 Hope this helped

The distance when there'll be the same cost will be 2 miles.

From the information given, it was stated that Bert's cab company charges $1.00 plus an additional $3.00 per mile for a ride. Madeline's cab company charges $3.00 plus an additional $2.00 per mile for a ride.

Therefore, the equation to solve the question will be:

1 + 3m = 3 + 2m

3m - 2m = 3 - 1

m = 2

The distance will be 2 miles.
