Question

Pleas I need help this is so hard

Answer 1

I believe it is the second one

Answer 2

Equation:

C = 1.75x + 5 25

A 22-mile ride costs $43.75.

Explanation:

Because there is a flat fee of 5.25, only the first two equations could possibly be correct.

Then check with the examples given. If a 7 mile ride costs 17.50, the second equation cannot possibly be right. 7 miles times over $5 per mile will cost more than $35 not even including the flat fee.

Check:

1.75(7) + 5.25 = 17.50

and

12(1.75) + 5.25 = 26.25

So, the correct equation is

C = 1.75x + 5.25

Next use this equation to find the cost of the 22 mile ride.

1.75(22) + 5.25

= 43.75
