Two taxi services charge different rates. Taxi A charges $0.70 per mile traveled plus an initial charge of $3.00. Taxi B charges $0.90 per mile
traveled. The situation is modeled by this system, where x is the number of
miles traveled and y is the charge for that distance, in cents:
y = 70x + 300
y = 90x
How many miles must each taxi travel for the charges to be equal, and what
is the charge for that distance?
A. Each must travel 9 miles, and the charge is $8.10.
B. Each must travel 10 miles, and the charge is $10.00.
C. The charges will never be equal no matter how far each travels.
