Answer 1

Write an equation to determine the distance in miles (x) between the airport and Ann's home: 2.1x + 5 = 49.10

Find the distance between the airport and Ann's home: 21 miles

Answer 2

$2,10 / mile
$5 - tip
$49,10 - total
x - the distance in miles


`2,10*x + 5 = 49,10\\ 2,10*x=44,10\\ x=21`

Distance between airport and Ann's home is 21 miles.
