We can set the following equation with the information given:
[tex]C=1\cdot m+20[/tex]Notice that it is a linear equation and its graph is as follows:
which corresponds to option A.
The estimated cost of driving 20 miles in one day is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} C=1\cdot20+20 \\ C=40 \end{gathered}[/tex]If C=$25, solving the first equation on the board for m we get:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 25=m+20 \\ m=25-20 \\ m=5 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the truck was driven 5 miles if the cost for one day is $25.
