Answer:

[tex]5+2.25m=38.75[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]m[/tex] represent the number of miles to Jazmin's home.

Initial cost to pick Jazmin [tex]=\$5[/tex]

Cost per mile [tex]=\$2.25[/tex]

Therefore,

Cost for [tex]m[/tex] miles [tex]=\$2.25m[/tex]

Total cost of Jazmin's ride = Initial cost to pick Jazmin + Cost for [tex]m[/tex] miles

= [tex]5+2.25m[/tex]

Also, total cost incurred [tex]=\$38.75[/tex]

So, equation that represent the above situation is [tex]5+2.25m=38.75[/tex]
