(a)

Given the info that Tito charges a $6.26 fee for a ride plus $2.75 for every ride, we derive

Y is the amount of money in total

X is the amount of miles for each ride

Algebraic Expression: Y=2.75X+6.26

(b)

Plugging in 23, we get

Y=2.75(230+6.26

Y=69.51

Answer Sentence: It would take $69.51 to travel 23 miles on TIto's taxi.

Answer:

A. ok so lets make a alebra equation

2.75d+6.26

first of all they charge a certain amount per mile so thats why we multiply that by the number on miles then we add the base price of 6.26

B. ok so lets just plug in

77.76

Hope This Helps!!!
