An expression for the total cost of a taxi ride travelling x miles would be: 2.50 + .75x This is because the entry cost is $2.50, so that cost will always be there. Since each mile costs $.75, and we don't know how many miles will be traveled, we use x in place of a number. To solve for a cost, you can substitute the amount of miles traveled for x.
Hope this helps!! :) If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!
