    d = 6 km

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The total cost of a ride includes a fixed, up-front cost and a variable cost:

    C (x) = $5.00 + ($2.50/km) x, where x is the number of kilometers covered.

    Setting C (x) = $20, we get:

    $20 = $5 + ($2.50/km) x

    which needs to be solved for x:

    $15 = ($2.50/km) x

    Dividing both sides by ($2.50/km) yields

    6 km = d
