"d dollars a mile for the first x miles"
To ride x miles, it costs d%2Ax
"d+n dollars for each additional mile"
To ride y more miles, it costs %28d%2Bn%29%2Ay


So to ride x%2By miles it costs d%2Ax%2B%28d%2Bn%29%2Ay

If a taxi ride costs d dollars a mile for the first x miles, and d+n dollars for each additional mile, what is the cost, in dollars, to ride x+y miles?------------------------------------------------------------
cost = dx + (d+n)y
cost = dx + dy + ny
cost = d(x+y)+ny
