The total cost of the cab ride was $25.50. The cabbie charges $1.50 per mile the entire trip.
Step-by-step explanation:

So one way to check, is adding the value that's being subtracted (y value) and the difference (z value), this should get you the value that is being subtracted from (x value). If you don't get the original value that's being subtracted from (x-value) then you know the answer you got is wrong.
