Answer: Ali would need to drive 350 miles for the two plans to cost the same.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved by creating two equations using the information supplied in the question and then solving these simultaneously.
Let the cost be C.
Let the number of miles be M.
Let the initial payment be i.
Let the rate per mile driven be R.
Plan 1:
C = i+R×M
C = 70+0.60M ... equation 1
Plan 2:
C = i+R×M
C = 0+0.80M
C = 0.80M ...equation 2
Substituting equation 2 into equation 1:
0.80M = 70+0.60M
0.80-0.60M = 70
0.20M = 70
M = 70/0.20
M = 350 miles
I don’t see the problems you want me to solve. Sorry

No they're not proportional, and it's four*.
4/2 = 2
20/6 = 3.333333333334 or 3 1/3
