Myra owns a car service that charges a $5 flat rate and an additional $0.50 per mile. Write an equation that represents this information.

5 + 0.5m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of miles be represented by m.

Therefore, since there's a $5 flat rate and an additional $0.50 per mile, this can be formed into a equation as:

= 5 + 0.5m

For example if the number of miles taken is 100miles, the amount charged will be:

= 5 + 0.5m

= 5 + 0.5(100)

= 5 + 50

= $55

the barter

x is the total time in minutes for the free response

you are given number of questions as 15 - m and time per item as 8 minutes

to find x multiply the two givens together:

x = 8 * (15-m) = 8(15-m)
