Answer: 21 miles

Explanation:

Here's the remainder of the question:

Write an equation to determine the distance in miles x between the airport and Ann's home.

We are informed that the taxi fare was $2.10 per mile, and she gave the driver a tip of $5 Ann paid a total of $49.10, this can be expressed into an equation as:

(2.10 × x) + 5 = 49.10

2.10x + 5 = 49.10

2.10x = 49.10 - 5

2.10x = 44.10

x = 44.10 / 2.10

x = 21

The distance between the airport and Ann's home is 21 miles.
