Question

ann took a taxi home from the airport the taxi fare was $2.10 per mile and she gave the driver a tip of $5 and paid a total of $49.10 write an equation to determine the distance of Miles X between the airport and Ann's home find the distance between the airport and aunt's home

Answer 1

The equation would be 2.10m+5=49.10. Subtract 5 from both sides and it turns to 2.10m=44.10. Isolate m by dividing 2.10 by both sides. 44.10/2.10=21. m=21. So 21 miles would be the distance between the airport and her home.

Hope it helps!
