Question

Linear functions

The dog Brian drives the baby around pretty often, so
he started charging for gas. He charged a base fee of
$10, and the total cost after driving 5 miles was $30.
Write an equation that represents this situation.
How much does it cost to go 1 mile with Brian driving?

Answer 1

Answer:the answer to your question is -15

Explanation:

Answer 2

Let's say the cost per mile with Brian driving is x dollars. Then, based on the given information, we know that the total cost after driving 5 miles is $30, which includes the $10 base fee. So:

Total cost = base fee + cost per mile x distance

$30 = $10 + x(5)

Simplifying the equation:

$20 = 5x

Dividing both sides by 5:

x = $4

Therefore, Brian charges $4 per mile.
