Answer 1

A) Green Light Taxi charges $0.45 per mile and an initial charge of $3.50. An Uber driver charges $0.50 per mile and an initial fee of $2.50. When will the cost of using Green Light Taxi equal the cost of using Uber?

because .45 and 3.50 goes together, and .50 and 2.50 goes together. There is an equal sign in the middle

Answer 2

No less than or greater than signs are used, so C and D are out

In this case the equation starts as .45M + 3.50

The only matching statement is A
