Berts's cab company charges $1.00 plus an additional $3.00 per mile for a ride. Madeline's caby company charges $3.00 plus an additional $2.00 per mile for a ride. Write a system of linear equations that shows the cost in dollars, y, for a cab ride of x miles for each cab driver. EXPLAIN THE STEPS YOU DID.
