Lucy took a taxi from her house to the airport. The taxi company charged a pick-up fee of $3.80 plus $3 per mile. The total fare was $39.80, not including the tip. Write
and solve an equation which can be used to determine x, the number of miles in the
taxi ride.

if you do 39.80/3 it would give you 13.2667 miles and since the tip was not added thats when you dont do anything with that number and 3 because every mile you pay 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer is:

the correct option:

b.

to solve the problem, we need to remember how to operate to simplify exponential expressions using the logarithms.

we are given the equation:

then, using placing logarith with base 7 on both sides of the equation, we have:

so, rounding the obtained result to two decimal places (nearest hundreth), we have:

hence, we have that the correct option:

b.

have a nice day!
