Alg I Trad Bench 1 Laurel MS 2020-2021 Section 1 8 of 308 of 30 Items Item 8 A taxi service charges a flat rate for the first 3 miles of service. For any additional mileage, the taxi service charges an additional rate per mile, x. The expression 10+2.50(x−3) represents the scenario.

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

First 3 miles = flat rate

Subsequent miles = additional rate per mile x

Equation which represents the scenario :

10 + 2.50(x - 3)

If the amount charged by the taxi service for a certain trip is

10 + 2.50(x - 3)

Then. ;

10 = the flat rate charged for the first 3 seconds

2.50 = additional mile charge

x = total trip distance

Hence, (x - 3) = (total trip distance - first 3 miles) = additional miles traveled

-5

hope this helps
