Jeremiah takes a taxi home from the mall. The taxi company charges $3.00 as an initial cost to pick him up, and $2.50 for every mile his destination. Jeremiah's ride home cost a total of $24.25. Enter an equation to represent the situation. Let m represent the number of miles to his house.
​

2.50m + 3.00 =24.25 m=8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

x= -3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify brackets

4 - x - 1 = 6

step 2: simpilfy

3 - x = 6

step 3: subtract 3 from both sides

-x = 6 - 3

step 4: simpilfy 6 - 3

-x = 3

step 5: multiply both sides by -1

x = -3

no this is a nonlinear negative
