Question

Uber charges 1.75 for pickup plus 0.50 per mile. Omar paid 4.25 for a ride. How many miles did he travel?

Answer 1

He traveled 5 miles.

Answer 2

Answer:

Omar Traveled 5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First set up a two step equation, .50x (x is our variable for miles driven) then +1.75= 4.25. Then Subtract 1.75 from itself and from 4.25. You get 2.5, bring everything down. You are now left with .50x=2.5 divide each side by .50 . 2.5 divided by .50 equals 5 and .50 divided by itself is zero, bring down the x and the 2.5. It should now look like this x = 2.5 That is your answer.
