Ataxi service charges an initial $5 fee, plus $2 per mile driven.

a. write an equation to represent the situation.
b. how much is the taxi service for 150 miles driven?

A)     c=2m+5

B)     c=$ 305

Let us suppose  m represents the number of miles driven.

and let c represents the cost charged after m miles are driven.

A)

   It is given that:

A taxi service charges an initial $5 fee, plus $2 per mile driven.  

This means that the equation that represent the situation is given by:

      c= 2m+5

B)

Now we are asked to find the value of c when m=150

Hence, the cost is given by:

     c=2×150+5

    c=$ 305
