The total cost \( t \) of the taxi ride can be expressed with the equation:
\[
t = 5 + 2m
\]
where:
- \( t \) is the total cost,
- \( 5 \) is the flat fee,
- \( 2m \) is the variable cost of $2 per mile, and
- \( m \) is the number of miles driven.
\[
t = 5 + 2m
\]
where:
- \( t \) is the total cost,
- \( 5 \) is the flat fee,
- \( 2m \) is the variable cost of $2 per mile, and
- \( m \) is the number of miles driven.
