Answer:

$2.10x + 5= $49.10

x=21

Step-by-step explanation:

the x is used for a variable that changes and in this case the mph changes which lead x being the amount of miles that they had drove which at the end ends up multi. with the $2.10 . as for the 5 it was an initial as in it doesn't change.

for the second part

you subtract 5 from each side so you have the total of 2.10x= 44.10 then u divide 2.10 from each side and that will give you x = 21
