3.3 miles should be the answer
10 = 2.40 + .2x - take 2.4 from both sides
7.6 = .2x - take 2 from 7.6 for the tip
5.6 = .2x - divide both sides by .2
28 = x
this means that you can pay the taxi drives an additional 28 times with the .20 cents fee and still have 2 dollars left over
now multiply 28 by .1 miles which is 2.8 miles
add 2.8 miles to .5 miles which equals 3.3 miles
10 = 2.40 + .2x - take 2.4 from both sides
7.6 = .2x - take 2 from 7.6 for the tip
5.6 = .2x - divide both sides by .2
28 = x

Answer:
I can ride 3.3 miles in $10.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let i can ride x miles in $10.
So for first 0.5 miles I have paid = $2.4
The for remaining ride of (x - 0.5) payment done = $[tex]\frac{0.20}{0.1}\times (x-0.5)=2(x - 0.5)[/tex]
I gave the tip = $2
Total payment I have done for the ride = $10
So equation will be
2.4 + 2(x - 0.5) + 2 = 10
4.4 + 2x - 1 = 10
3.4 + 2x = 10
2x = 10 - 3.4
2x = 6.6
x = [tex]\frac{6.6}{2}=3.3[/tex]
Therefore, i can ride 3.3 miles in $10.
