Mike took a taxi from his home to the airport. The taxi driver charged an initial fee of 6plus3 per mile. The total fare was $24, not including the tip. How many miles did Mike travel by taxi on this ride? A 2

B 6

C 8

D 10

A. 2

24divided by 9=2.6 inf

6 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, lets make an equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b)

The initial fee is $6. This is our y-intercept (b) as it is unchanging.

Our slope (m) would be $3, as it changes value per mile, which will be represented by x.

$24 was the total fare, so this is our y.

We have:

24 = 3x + 6

Subtract 6 from both sides.

24 - 6 = 3x + 6 - 6

We get:

18 = 3x

Divide by 3 on both sides.

18/3 = 3x/3

We get:

6 = x

So, Mike traveled 6 miles.

I would appreciate brainliest, if not that's ok!

step-by-step explanation:

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
