Answer:

B. 6

Step-by-step explanation:

SInce the total amount paid by Mike was $24, you subtract the initial amount he paid ($6) which leaves you with $18. Since the taxi driver charges $3 per mile you divide $18 by $3 to get 6 so that means Mike travel 6 miles.

The answer would be ~6~ because 6+3*x= 24 which x=6

Hope this helps

Have a great day/night
