Question

The cost for a different taxi company is expressed with the equation y = 1.65x + 2.35, where x represents the miles driven and y represents the cost per trip. If Susan takes a taxi for the 14-mile trip from the bus terminal to her house, how much will the ride cost?

Answer 1

To solve this, all you have to do is plug in the 14 where the x value is:
y=1.65(14) +2.35 which equals 25.45

Answer 2

Answer: 25.45 is the cost for a different taxi company

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 1.65x + 2.35

if x represents the miles driven then you should multiply 1.65 · 14

y = (1.65 · 14) + 2.35

y=  23.1 + 2.35

y= 25.45
