Answer:
12.8 Miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Company charges $2.50 to pick up
Charges $1.95 per mile
Let say charges = y $
Distance Travelled = x miles
Charges = (costper mile) * (Miles travelled) + Charges to pickup
y = 1.95x + 2.5
linear equation is y = 1.95x + 2.5
y = 27.46 $ given
27.26 = 1.95x + 2.5
=>1.95x = 27.46 - 2.5
=> 1.95x = 24.96
=> x = 24.96/1.95
=> x = 12.8
Distance traveled by Isaac = 12.8 Miles
