<PRE><B>Question 918761</B>
Tabitha paid $47.75 in taxi far from the hotel to the airport. The cab charged $2.25 for the first mile plus $3.50 for each additional mile. How many miles was it from the hotel to the airport?
--------------------------
Equation: 
47.75 = 2.25 + 3.50x
----
45.50 = 3.5x
x = 13  miles
