a truck rental costs $2 per miles m driven plus a $24 rental fee translate the words into an algebraic expression

1 answer

Let's represent the number of miles driven by the variable 'm'.

The cost per mile is $2. So, 'm' miles would cost 2m dollars.

In addition to the cost per mile, there is a $24 rental fee.

Therefore, the algebraic expression for the total cost would be:
2m + 24.
