Question

The Yellow Cab Company charges just $0.25 a mile, but it costs $5 to get in the cab. Express

Answer 1

Answer:

For 7 miles call they Yellow Cab and for 3 miles call Express Cab

In 4 miles it cost $6.00 for both

Step-by-step explanation:

Express Cab= $4.50 for 3 miles, and for 7 miles it cost $10.50

Yellow Cab = $5.75 for 3 miles, and for 7 miles it cost $6.75

add 1.50 to 4.50 and is 6 dollars in 4 miles and add 0.25 to 5.75 and it also makes it 4 miles

Answer 2

Yellow Cab : y = 0.25x + 5
Express Cab: y = 1.5x
a) Yellow Cab: 1.75 + 5 = 6.75
Express Cab: 1.5 * 7 = 10.5
YELLOW CAB
b) Yellow Cab: 0.75 + 5 = 5.75
Express Cab: 1.5 * 3 = 4.5
EXPRESS CAB
c) 0.25x + 5 = 1.5x
1.25x = 5
x = 4
4 MILES
