Answer:

6 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, lets make an equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b)

The initial fee is $6. This is our y-intercept (b) as it is unchanging.

Our slope (m) would be $3, as it changes value per mile, which will be represented by x.

$24 was the total fare, so this is our y.

We have:

24 = 3x + 6

Subtract 6 from both sides.

24 - 6 = 3x + 6 - 6

We get:

18 = 3x

Divide by 3 on both sides.

18/3 = 3x/3

We get:

6 = x

So, Mike traveled 6 miles.
