X = 9 you multiply both sides by 3 because you have to get rid of it and what you do to one side you do to the other then you divide both sides by 2 to isolate the variable. i hope that makes sense.
since we do not get a specific amount we must add 4.8 and 7.3 and substitute the amount the driver earns per mile with x and use t as a variable if they charge something like $5 just to get in before driving
