Answer 1

The maximum miles that Chri

Step-by-step explanation

The uber rate is given as $1.5 per mile and a $3 fuel charge.

Chris and Sue have $20 with the for the Uber ride.

Let the maximum amount of miles they would be able to travel using the Uber ride be x.

If they go x miles on the Uber ride, the total charge will be given as

Total Charge = (3 + 1.5x)

Total amount they have is $20

3 + 1.5x = 20

Subtract 3 from both sides

3 + 1.5x - 3 = 20 - 3

1.5x = 17

Divide both sides by 1.5

(1.5x/1.5) = (17/1.5)

x = 11.33 miles

Hope this Helps!!!
