Answer:2x+5 x would be the number of miles driven

Step-by-step explanation:$305. Plug in 150 for x, and the equation is 2*150+5=x, x being your answer that you are looking for. Do the Order of Operations, which is PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication and Division from left to right, Addition and Subtraction from left to right.) So in other words, do 2*150 first, and you get 300. Now your equation is 300+5=x. Add 300+5, and you get 305=x. So your answer is $305.
