Question

a Martin took a tax from his home to the airport. The taxi driver charged an initial fee of $9.00 plus $2.75 per mile. The total fare was $50.25, not including the tip. How many miles did Martin travel by taxi on this ride?​

Answer 1

Answer:
15 miles

Steps:
9 + 2.75x = 50.25
Subtract 9 from both sides.
2.75x = 41.25
Divide both sides by 2.75.
x = 15
