Uber charges a $5 flat rate and additional $1.75 per mile. Santos has no more than $28 to spend on an Uber ride. How many miles can Santos travel without exceeding his limit? 13 miles 14 miles 54 miles 141 miles 142 miles and how do you solve it?

13 miles

1.75x+5=28

First, subtract 5 from both sides.

1.75x+5-5=28-5

1.75x=23

Then, divide by 1.75 on both sides.

1.75x÷1.75=23÷1.75

x= 13.14 (rounded to the nearest hundredths)
