In New York City, taxis charge $2.50 plus $2.00 per mile for off peak fares. How far can Ralph travel for $17.50 ?

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

cost to travel x miles = $2.50 + 2*x $17.50 = $2.50 + 2*x solve for x

7.5 miles?

Let's check. Flag drop is $2.50, and 7.5 miles @ $2/mile = $15, so that looks correct!
