The Apache taxi company charges $2.50 to pick up a passenger and then adds $1.95 per mile. Issac was charged $27.46 to go from one city to another. If x represents the number of miles driven by the taxi, which linear equation can be used to solve this problem, and how many did Issac travel, rounded to the nearest tenth?

Respuesta :

2.50 + (1.95x) = 27.46
-2.50 -2.50
(1.95x) = 24.96
--------- ---------
1.95 1.95

X=12.8 miles
The answer is 12.8 miles
