Question

The cost of renting a car is $35/wk plus $0.25/mi traveled during that week. An equation to represent the cost would be 

y = 35 + 0.25x,  where x is the number of miles traveled. 
If your cost was $48.75, how many miles were you charged for traveling?  M=

Answer 1

$48.75 minus $35 would equal 13.75 then you divide by 0.25 that would give you 55 so M=55
