Outta Luck Towing Company charges $50 to hook a vehicle to the truck and $2.75 for each mile the vehicle is towed.

Let the number of miles towed is m, and the total charges is c

2.75 for each mile the vehicle is towed

for 1 miles, the charge is 2.75

For m miles, the charge is 2.75m

$50 to hook a vehicle to the truck. so basic charge is 50

Total charge = charge of m miles + basic charge

C = 2.75 m + 50
