Jasmine took a cab home from her office. The cab charged a flat fee of $4, plus $2 per mile. Jasmine paid $32 for the trip. How many miles was the cab ride?
Can someone answer this w/step by step detail please thank you I would appreciate it! :D
To solve, make an equation. The equation would be [tex]$32 = 4 + 2x[/tex] x represents the miles driven to solve, subtract 4 from each side of the equation. $32-4 = 4-4 + 2x The equation is now $28 = 2x Now you divide by 2 on each side. $28 ÷ 2 = 2x ÷ 2 simplify 14 = x The answer is 14 miles
