Mike took a taxi from home to Airport. The taxi driver charged $6 as initial fees and $3 per mile and the total fare is $24.

Required

we need to find total number of miles he covered on this ride.

Explanation

Let total number of miles he travelled be x

Then total fare =6+3x

i.e

[tex]\begin{gathered} 6+3x=24 \\ 3x=24-6 \\ 3x=18 \\ x=\frac{18}{3}=6 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So total number of miles covered is 6 miles.
