    A taxi ride where the total fare is $3, $2 for every mile travelled plus a $1 tip and the original cost of $20.

    First write a formula that expresses the cost of the ride:

    Total cost = Flat fee + Mileage + Tip

    Now let's drop in what we know:

    20 = 3+2 (miles) + 1 - we know the total cost is 20, the fee of 3, the tip of 1 and the cost per mile of 2. The only thing we don't know is the number of miles. So let's solve for that.

    Subtract 3 and 1 from both sides to get:

    16=2 (miles)

    Divide both sides by 2:

    8=miles

    Therefore, you traveled 8 miles.
