Bryan took a taxi home from the opera. The taxi fare was $2.50 per mile, and he gave the driver a tip of $3. Bryan paid a total of $35.50. The equation 2.50x + 3 = 35.5 can be used to find the distance in miles (x) between the opera house and Bryan's home.

It is 13 miles between the Opera House and Bryan's home.

Answer:

There are 13 miles between the opera house and Bryan's home.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation [tex]2.50x+3=35.5[/tex] can be used to find the distance in miles (x) between the opera house and Bryan's home.

We will solve this to get the value of x.

[tex]2.50x+3=35.5[/tex]

=> [tex]2.50x=35.5-3[/tex]

=> [tex]2.50x=32.50[/tex]

we get x = 13

Hence, there are 13 miles between the opera house and Bryan's home.
