Cab B is more
5x + 20 = 4x + 50
solve for x, plug back into original two equations
x=30 so both are 170.

Its cause the X is number of people!
Flat rate from airport + number of people up charge.
Assuming this is a minivan, you could fit 6 people max, and B is more expensive in any scenario.

30 Miles is the even point for the cabs. After that Cab B is a better deal. Call Uber.

So it's more of a riddle than an actual math problem

Ok...now, seriously...if x is miles, it would depend on the distance from the mall to the airport. Assuming they wouldn't take a cab for more than 30 miles, then Cab A will be cheaper.

Which airport?

The driver of Cab A was the passenger's mother.
