he cost for a taxi ride is $3.00 for the first mile and $2.25 for each additional mile. Rewrite the expression 3.00+2.25(m-1) for the cost of the taxi ride in dollars as a sum of two terms, where m represents the miles traveled. Show your work.
well, just expand
cost = 3.00+2.25(m-1)
= 3.00 + 2.25m - 2.25
= 2.25m + .75

Thank you so much, I was very confused on this question!
which expression is equivalent to 91+39?
Well, it seems like we need to break down the expression into two terms. So, let's start by simplifying the given expression:
3.00 + 2.25(m-1)
First, let's multiply 2.25 by m and then subtract 2.25.
2.25(m-1) = 2.25m - 2.25
Now we add this result to 3.00:
3.00 + (2.25m - 2.25)
And ta-da! We have it as a sum of two terms:
(3.00 - 2.25) + 2.25m
Now, let me calculate it for you. But remember, laughter is priceless! So don't forget to bring some humor to your taxi ride!
To rewrite the expression 3.00 + 2.25(m-1) as a sum of two terms, we can simplify it step by step.
First, let's distribute the 2.25 to both terms inside the parentheses:
3.00 + 2.25m - 2.25
Next, combine the like terms:
(3.00 - 2.25) + 2.25m
Subtracting 2.25 from 3.00 gives us:
0.75 + 2.25m
Therefore, the expression 3.00 + 2.25(m-1) can be written as the sum of two terms: 0.75 and 2.25m.
