A New York taxi service charges a $3.25 boarding rate in addition to its meter which is $2 for every mile. How much does it cost to ride in this cab for 1 mile? How much does it cost to ride in this cab for 20 miles?

Hey there!

This can be modelled by an equation, y=2x+3.25

For one mile: y=2(1)+3.25, or y=5.25

For twenty miles: y=2(20)+3.25, or y=43.25

Hope this helps :)

hey seth! : )
