PLEASE HURRY‼️‼️‼️

A Lime bike charges $2 for
a flat fee plus $0.50 a
minute. A different bike
charges $3.80 for a flat
fee plus $0.20 a minute.
After how many minutes
(x), will the price (y) be
the same for both bikes?

Answer:

5 minutes

Explanation:

.5x + 2 = y

.2x + 3.8 = y

.5x + 2 = .2x + 3.8

-.2x -.2x

.3x + 2 = 3.8

-2 -2

.3x = 1.8

.3 .3

x = 5

After 5 minutes, both bikes will be at the same price.
