Aaron participates in a walkathon for charity. He has a sponsor who has pledged a base donation of $2 for the first mile he walks and then a certain dollar amount for each additional mile he walks. Based on this pledge, if Aaron walks 8 miles, the sponsor will donate a total of $23 to the charity. Write a formula that can be used to determine the amount of money this sponsor donates when Aaron walks n miles.

Explain how you determined your formula.

2 + 3x(N-1) = Amount of money donated

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Aaron participates in a walkathon for charity, and he has a sponsor who has pledged a base donation of $ 2 for the first mile he walks and then a certain dollar amount for each additional mile he walks, and based on this pledge, if Aaron walks 8 miles, the sponsor will donate a total of $ 23 to the charity, to determine a formula that can be used to determine the amount of money this sponsor donates when Aaron walks N miles the following equation should be raised:

2 = fixed amount in the first mile

2 + ((23 - 2) / (8-1)) x (N-1) = Amount of money donated

2 + (21/7) x N = Amount of money donated

2 + 3x (N-1) = Amount of money donated

Thus, if N is 8, as in the example, the quantity is determined as follows:

2 + 3x (8-1) = X

2 + 3x7 = X

2 + 21 = X

23 = X

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b

first one because it can't have a fraction in it
