Explanation / Answer

Let x be the distance in miles to get break even. 1+0.50(x-0.25)=1+0.60(x-0.5) solve for x 1+0.50x-.125=1+0.60x-0.3 ones cancel .50x-.125=.60x-.3 subtract like to terms (get x on one side by subtracting .60and .50= 0.1x) -.125=0.1x-.3 add .3 to -.125 =0.175 .175=0.1x divide .175 by 0.1 and you get Please rate~ x=1.75 miles.
