Answer 2

Answer:

Required equation is 42 = 5 + 3.70d

Step-by-step explanation:

Emma took a taxi from the airport to her house. She paid a flat fee of $5 plus $3.70 per mile.

The fare came to $42

Flat fee = $5

Variable fee = $3.70 per miles

Total fare = $42

Let Emma traveled d miles

Total fare = Flat fee + variable fee of d miles

 According to given info.

42 = 5 + 3.70d

Now we solve for d,

Therefore, d=10 miles

Thus, Required equation is 42 = 5 + 3.70d , d=10 miles
