Question

Anna is trying to figure out how much her 10-mile taxi ride is going to cost. It costs $5 to be picked up by the taxi, and each mile costs an extra $2. Which equation should Anna use to calculate her cost?

y= 2x+5
y= 5x+2
y= x^2+5x+10
y=(2)^x

Answer 1

y=2x+5

because y is the final cost, x is the amount of miles times 2 since each mile costs $2, and an addition $5 for the taxi-pickup
