Answer:

28 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of miles

y ----> the total cost of taxi fare

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope or unit rate

b is the y-intercept or initial value (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)

In this problem we have

The unit rate or slope is equal to

m=\$0.20\ per\ mile

The initial value or y-intercept is equal to

b=\$2.40

substitute

y=0.20x+2.40

Find out how many miles can you ride for $10

Subtract $2 of the tip

we have

y=$10-$2=$8

substitute in the linear equation

8=0.20x+2.40

Solve for x

0.20x=8-2.40

0.20x=5.60

[tex]x=28\ miles/tex]
