Lynne took a taxicab from her office to the airport she had to pay a flat fee of 2.05 plus 0.90 the total cost was 5.65 how many miles was the takes trip

For this case we have that Lynne must pay:

2.05 plus 0.90 per mile

We have then that the equation that models the problem is:

2.05 + 0.90x = 5.65

Where,

x: is the number of miles.

Clearing x we have:

0.90x = 5.65 - 2.06

x = 3.59 / 0.90

x = 4 miles

Answer:

the trip was:

x = 4 miles
