per mile traveled

• After 2 miles, she owes $14
• After 3 miles, she owes $20
Which function represents the amount she owes after riding
n miles?
Select one:

A: A(n) = 6 - 8

B: A(n) = 6n + 14

C: A(n) = 8

D: A(n) = 6n + 2

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

Answer 2

D: A(n) = 6n + 2

Explanation:

A is incorrect because: A(1)= 6(1)-8 is equal to -2 not 8

B is incorrect because: A(1)= 6(1)+14 is equal to 20 not 8

C is incorrect because: A(2)= 8(2) is equal to 16 not 14

D is correct because: A(1)= 6(1)+2 is equal to 8 which is correct,

A(2)=6(2)+2 is equal to 14 which is correct,

A(3)=6(3)+2 is equal to 20 which is also correct

Hope this helps
