F A taxicab company charges $2.80 plus $0.40 per mile. Carmen paid a fare of $8.80. Enter and solve an equation to find the number of miles she traveled. Use m as your variable.

m = miles traveled.

$2.80 + $0.40m = $8.80

Subtract $2.80 from both sides.

$0.40m = $6.00

Divide both sides by $0.40

m = 15

Carmen traveled a total of 15 miles.

answer: 9

step-by-step explanation:

check above link.

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
