It's 3 2/3 miles difference from the Ride that costs 10.50 than from the one that cost 7.00

$$2.50+.75 m=10.50 $$ subtract 2.50 from both sides to isolate the m (# of miles), then you will have the following$$.75m=8.00$$ now, divide both sides by .75 to isolate the number of miles the ($10.50) can yield.$$m=10.66$$

Next, do another equation for the other amount given. $$2.50+.75m=7.75$$, subtract 2.50 from each side$$.75m=5.25$$, next divide .75 from both sides to equal to $$m=7$$

Now, subtract the # of miles of the second cost from the # of miles from the 2nd cost$$10.66-7=3.66   $$
