    6 miles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    AS Mike took the taxi from his home to airport and covered a distance

    Initial fee of the ride was $ 6 which is fixed

    Now with each mile he has to pay $3

    Total he paid = $ 24

    Now we have to find the total no of miles traveled by Mike

    The tip given is 0

    Now from the given we can make an equation

    Initial fee + 3 * miles traveled = total Paid

    Let total no of miles traveled are x

    Putting all the values in the given equation

    6 + 3 * x = 24

    6 + 3x = 24

    3x = 24-6

    3x = 18

    Dividing both sides by 3

    x = 18 / 3

    x = 6 miles

    So the total miles traveled by him is 6 miles
