Ann took a taxi home from the airport. The taxi fare was $2.10 per mile, and she gave the driver a tip of $5. Ann paid a total o
f $49.10. Write an equation to determine the distance in miles (x) between the airport and Ann's home
Find the distance between the airport and Ann's home.
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
