Question

What is the difference between an expression and an equation? Answer using RAE.

Write an expression that represents the following situation: An Uber driver charges $6 plus $1.50 per mile.
Using the expression you wrote for #2, find the cost of an 8 mile Uber ride. Show your work. how would i answer this with algebra tiles?

Answer 1

The difference between an expression and an equation is that an expression is the value of one single number and a equation is the relationship between two numbers. (Not sure what RAE is sorry)

If a Uber charges $6 plus $1.50 for each mile then for 8 miles it would be $60 because $6 + $1.50 = $7.5. Next, you would do $7.5 x 8 = $60 for 8 miles.

Hope this helped!!
