Question

A cab company chargers a $3.50 boarding fee and $0.50 per mile. Write an equation to describe the relationship between the cost of the cab ride and the number of miles traveled.

Answer 1

T = 0.50m + 3.5p

Explanation:

if T is the total cost and m is the miles driven and you have a fee of $3.50, the equation would be 3.50 + 0.50m = T which can be written like that or re written as T = 0.50m + 3.5p.

hope this helps :)
