Question

ABC Taxi charges $1.75 plus 10¢ per mile while Friendly Taxi charges $2.25 plus 7¢ per mile. You want to know at what distance the two taxi companies would charge the same amount, and which company would be cheaper for shorter distances.

Answer 1

Looks like you need to setup an algebraic equation with one variable, d, for distance.

Answer 2

for example
1.75 + 0.10 d = 2.25 + 0.07 d

if you go zero miles, who is cheaper ?)
