what is the symbol between 10 and 5
3m+6=24
3m=18
m=6
So mike traveled 6 miles by taxi.
We know that the taxi driver chargers $3 per mile, so we say M is the mile variable, and for every M there is $3. So 3m+6 (initial fee) is the first part of the formula.
We set 3m+6=24 (24 being the total amount the taxi driver is charging)
(n/6 + 8) - 3 = 7
(n/6 + 8) - 3 + 3 = 7 + 3
n/6 + 8 - 8 = 10 - 8
n/6 = 2
(n/6)(6) = 2(6)
n = 12
