A tax company charges $2.25 for the 1st mile and then 0.20 cents per mile for each mile after the first or F equals $2.25 +0.20 cents. If Wesley's tax fair was $6.05 how many miles did he travel

He traveled 20 miles. 

F=2.25 + .20 (x-1)  I used x-1 because you have to subtract for the one mile that is $2.25. 

6.05=2.25 + .20x -.20
6.05=2.05 + .20x
4=.20x
20=x
