Answer:
5.8 miles were travelled by Juan's Uber ride to the movie.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = miles travelled by Juan
Charges for first mile = $1.50
Charges for each mile after first = $1.55
Total charge for Juan = $10.49
We need to find how many miles Juan covered?
The equation will be:
[tex]1.50+1.55(x)=10.49[/tex]
We will solve this equation to find value of x
Solving:
[tex]1.50+1.55(x)=10.49[/tex]
Subtracting 1.50 from both sides
[tex]1.50+1.55(x)-1.50=10.49-1.50\\1.55(x)=8.99\\x=\frac{8.99}{1.55} \\x=5.8[/tex]
So, 5.8 miles were travelled by Juan's Uber ride to the movie.
