Answer:

$4.70 + $4.75m = $18.95 which is 3 miles in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

First make the numbers without the variables on one side.

4.75m = 18.95-4.70

Then subtract.

4.75m = 14.25

Finally divide the two numbers.

14.25 ÷ 4.75 = 3 miles

Answer:  m = 3  or 3 miles

Answer:

3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Pick up fee = $4.70

Charge = $4.75 per mile therefore this is expressed as 4.75 x m (or 4.75m)

18.95 = 4.7 + 4.75m (add the pick up fee plus fare per mile)

Subtract 4.7 from both sides then divide 4.75 from both sides.

This leaves you with m = 3
