Our equation will be:

x - 5 = 1 + 3x

Subtract 1 from both sides

-6  = 2x

Divide both sides by 2

-3 = x

lukranit [14]

Answer: the charge would be the same after 5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance at which both companies charge the same amount.

company A charges a flat fee of four dollars plus 2 dollars per mile. It means that the total charge for x miles would be

4 + 2x

Company B does not charge a flat fee but charges $2.80 per mile driven. It means that the total charge for x miles would be 2.8x.

For the charge to be the same, the number of miles would be

2.8x = 4 + 2x

2.8x - 2x = 4

0.8x = 4

x = 4/0.8

x = 5
