Lynne took a taxicab from her office to the airport she had to pay a flat fee of 2.05 plus 0.90 the total cost was 5.65 how many miles was the takes trip
For this case we have that Lynne must pay: 2.05 plus 0.90 per mile We have then that the equation that models the problem is: 2.05 + 0.90x = 5.65 Where, x: is the number of miles. Clearing x we have: 0.90x = 5.65 - 2.06 x = 3.59 / 0.90 x = 4 miles Answer: the trip was: x = 4 miles
