Answer 1

20.9, rounded answer: 21 miles

Explanation:

x= distance between the airport and Ann's home.

since Ann is paying $2.10 per mile let 2.10 be the coefficient

our equation:

5 is our constant since that's how much Ann trips the driver

since the total is equal to 49.10, that's what our equation will be equal to

2.10x+5=49.10

sub "5"

2.10x+5-5=49.10-5

2.10x=44

divide both sides by "2.10"

2.10/2.10x=44/2.10

x=20.9

we can round 20.9 to 21
