Michelle took a taxi home from the airport. the taxi fare was $2.25 per mile, and she gave the driver a tip of $5. michelle paid a total of $45.50. the equation 2.25x + 5 = 45.5 can be used to find the distance in miles (x) between the airport and michelle's home. how many miles is it between the airport and michelle's home?

Step-by-step explanation:

we have that

x -------> the number of miles between the airport and Michelle's home

The linear equation that represent this situation is

Solve for x

Subtract 5 both sides

Divide by 2.25 both sides

the answer is 150.6

step-by-step explanation:

you multiply .02 by 30 and get .6.

and then you multiply 5.00 by 30 and get 150.

hope this !
