C(x) = 3 + 2 x
if x is miles not tenths of miles
so
the cost of an average ride is
C(7.3) = 3 + 14.6 = 17.6
Why don't you simplify it then put it into an algebra calculator.

To write the formula for the cost of the cab ride function C(x), we need to break down the cost based on the distance traveled.
First, we calculate the cost for the first mile, which is $3.
Next, we need to determine the cost for the additional distance beyond the first mile. The cost for each additional 1/10 mile is $0.20.
Given that the average cab ride distance is 7.3 miles, we can express the additional distance beyond the first mile as (7.3 - 1) = 6.3 miles.
Since there are 10 1/10 mile segments in a mile, we can multiply 6.3 by 10 to convert it to 63 segments.
Finally, we multiply the number of additional segments (63) by the cost per segment ($0.20) and add it to the cost for the first mile ($3) to obtain the total cost, C(x).
Thus, the formula for the cost of the cab ride function C(x) is:
C(x) = $3 + ($0.20 * (10 * (x - 1))), where 'x' represents the total distance traveled in miles, and C(x) gives the total cost in dollars.
