Mr. Mike took an Uber to New York City. The Uber driver charged $8 as an initial fee and $2 for every mile. The final cost of the Uber ride was $28. Write an equation that models this situation to determine the number of miles, x, the taxi traveled?

10 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First you take 28 and subtract 8: 28-8=20

Then you take 28 and divide it by 2 ($2 for every mile) 28/2 = 10

So X = 10 miles

Can I please have brainliest?

2x-3+x=12-x+1
to solve an equation like this we have to put all the variables on one side and all the numbers on the other. we do this by subtracting, adding, multiplying, or dividing by the same things on each side of the equality.
lets add 3 to both sides first. you get
2x+x=12-x+1+3
now add x on both sides
2x+x+x=12+1+3
combine the terms
4x=16
divide by 5 on each side
x=4
