Answer:

[tex]\$10.70[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the number of miles

y ---> the total charge in dollars

we know that

The total charge must be equal to the flat fee ($3) plus the number of miles multiplied by $1.10 per mile

so

The linear equation is

[tex]y=1.10x+3[/tex]

For x=7 miles

substitute in the equation and solve for y

[tex]y=1.10(7)+3[/tex]

[tex]y=\$10.70[/tex]
