Let x = miles.
$20 +$.50x = $1.50x
Solve for x, then substitute 30 for x.
A limousine service charges
$20
plus
$0.50
per mile and a taxicab company charges
$1.50
per mile. Write and graph a system of equations for the cost of each ride, find the number of miles for each ride to cost the same, and determine which would be cheaper if a rider has to go
30
miles.
