To rent a moving truck for the day, it costs $50 plus $3 for every mile driven. Write an algebraic expression for the cost to rent a truck and drive it for "m" miles?

Respuesta :

Multiply the cost per mile by number of miles “m” and add that amount to the $50:

Total = 3m + 50

Answer:  3m+50

Explanation:

m = number of miles

3m = cost of driving at $3 per mile, ignoring the $50 extra fee

3m+50 = previous cost, plus the fixed fee mentioned
