Question

Cab 1 charges $1 per kilometer. Cab 2 charges $0.50 per kilometer and a $4 base charge. Solve for the value of k(kilometers ) that the 2 cab companies would cost the same.

Answer 1

Answer:

k=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Cab 1 : 1/km

Cab2: 0.5 /km with Base charge =4

x=0.5 x+4

x-0.5x=4

0.5x=4

4/0.5=x

x=8

Assume x=k

k=8
