Lorelai · Answer 1

Lets m is the number of miles

23.95 (3) + 0.32m = 250

71.85 + 0.32m = 250

0.32m = 250 - 71.85

0.32m = 178.15

m = 178.15 / 0.32

m = 556.71

answer: Trevor can drive 556 whole miles on a $250 budget

Y=mx + b plug that in, so the 23.95 would be the flat fee then you add 0.32

250 = 23.95+0.32 subtract from both sides then divide the answer is 10 miles
