Acab company charges $3.00 initial fare for stopping for a customer and an additional $0.50 for each mile traveled. write an equation to represent the total cost of a ride in relation to the number of miles driven.

The table shows a relation where the first is sum by other number to obtain the second colum.

So, 1 + 0 = 1, the first row.

2 + 1 = 3

3 + 2 = 5

As you can see, the increasing number is the added part, and increases by one, that's the rule.

Then,

4 + 3 = 7

15 + 4 = 19

Therefore, the complete table is

1    1

2   3

3   5

4   7

15  19
