Cyrus Beasley · Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The flat fee of $5 is what you will make from that sponsor whether you walk 1 mile or 200 miles. If you make $2 per mile and then number of miles you walk is the independent variable, the expression for that is 2x. The expression that describes this situation is

2x + 5

Grayson Mathis · Answer 2

5 + 2m

Step-by-step explanation:

total amount = flat fee + amount per mile

Let m = number of miles

total amount = 5 + 2m
