    60 miles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    the equation for the cost for traveling from the airport can be represented by y=.50x + 2 + 6

    where y is the final cost and x is the amount of miles. plug in 38 to y to get 38 =.50 * + 2 + 6. Solve for x.

    38-6 =.50 * + 2

    32 =.50x + 2

    32-2=.50x

    30=.50x

    30/.50=x

    60=x

    therefore, the 60 miles is how far you can go with $38
