The allied taxi company charges $2.50 to pick up a passenger and then adds $1.95 per mile. isaac was charged $27.46 to go from one city to another. if x represents the number of miles driven by the taxi, which linear equation can be used to solve this problem, and how many miles did isaac travel, rounded to the nearest tenth?

2.50+1.95x=27.64, x=12.89

Step-by-step explanation:

2.50+1.95x=27.46 =》 1.95x=27.64-2.50 =》 x=(27.64-2.50)/1.95 =》 x=12.89

there are no answer choices

step-by-step explanation:

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
