Checker Cab Company charges an initial fee of $4.46 and then $1.48 per mile. Yellow Cab Company charges only $3.63 initially, but then $4.45 per mile. Which system of equations can be used to determine the number of miles it takes, x, for the two companies to charge the same amount, y?

y = $1.48x + $4.46
y = $3.63x + $4.45

$1.48x + $4.46y = $5.94
$4.45x + $3.63y = $8.08

x = $1.48y + $4.46
x = $4.45y + $3.63

y = $1.48x + $4.46
y = $4.45x + $3.63

y = $1.48x + $4.46
  y = $3.63x + $4.45

$1.48x + $4.46y = $5.94
  $4.45x + $3.63y = $8.08

x = $1.48y + $4.46
  x = $4.45y + $3.63

y = $1.48x + $4.46
  y = $4.45x + $3.63
