T, total cost for the card
R, number of times subway is ridden
$5, price of train card
$2, price for 1 ride
-----------------------------------------------------
Write an equation that represent the total cost for the card, T, if you ride the Subway,R,times.
---------------------------------------------------
The COST for the card does not change, regardless how many times R you ride the subway.
-----------That's all. Nothing else.
You want an expression for total cost, including the rides bought and taken?
