Answer:

y - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To translate statements into expressions, we have to look for key terms. In this case, one key term is "five less." Five less means to subtract 5 from a certain quantity. When it says "five less than y," we're taking five away from y. In numerical form, it can be written as: y - 5.

Therefore, the expression is y - 5.

A taxi charges $7.75 plus $0.56 per mile.

stich3 [128]

$7.75+$7.75=$15.50 (He took the taxi 2x)
$0.56(14)+$0.56(7)=$11.76 (14 miles on the way to work, 7 miles on the way home since he only rode half way and walked the other half)
$15.50+$11.76=$27.26
Ryan pays $27.76 for the taxi ride per day.
