***NEED HELP QUICKLY***

My grandson is stuck on a couple of math questions, one of which is this;;

"the graphs below show the costs of two taxi services. the x-axis represents the distance traveled in miles, and the y-axis represents the cost in dollars.

how many miles must be traveled for the costs of the two services to be the same? "

A. 5
B. 7.5
C. 3
D. ^

Answer 1

Answer: 8 miles

If you want to solve this problem you first have to set up an equation. The equation for the bottom line would be y=1/2x+3. The equation for the top line would be y=1/4x+5. Then you can put the two equations together and simplify. (1/2x+3=1/4x+5) And your answer should be 8 miles. Hope it helps!

*I'm not 100% sure if it's correct since I can't see the graph very well, but that's how you solve it*

Answer 2
