    Answer: the charge would be the same after 5 miles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the distance at which both companies charge the same amount.

    company A charges a flat fee of four dollars plus 2 dollars per mile. It means that the total charge for x miles would be

    4 + 2x

    Company B does not charge a flat fee but charges $2.80 per mile driven. It means that the total charge for x miles would be 2.8x.

    For the charge to be the same, the number of miles would be

    2.8x = 4 + 2x

    2.8x - 2x = 4

    0.8x = 4

    x = 4/0.8

    x = 5
