Hi there! The answer is 10 miles.
Let the distance be represented by b.
The cost if the ride will therefore be
$5 + ( $3.70 × d )
We end up with the following equation
[tex]5 + 3.7d = 42[/tex]
Subtract 5 from both sides.
[tex]3.7d = 37[/tex]
Divide both sides by 10.
[tex]d = \frac{37}{3.7} = 10[/tex]
Therefore, Emma had a taxi ride of 10 miles.
