Julia took a taxi home from the airport. The taxi fare was $2.05 per mile, and she gave the driver a tip of $6. Write a linear equation to relate the total cost of the taxi trip to the number of miles travelled.
​

Answer 1

The taxi fare was $2.10 per mile, and she gave the driver a tip of $5. Ann paid a total of $49.10.

49.10 = 2.10(x) + 5

44.10 = 2.10(x)

x = 21 miles

Answer 2

(2.05x)+6

Explanation:

x would be the miles and you multiply that by your fare per mile and add the 6 dollar tip
