Step-by-step explanation:

(2$+1.5&)+0.9$X=20$

3.5$+0.9$X=20$

0.9$x=20$-3.5$

x=16.5$/.9$

x=18.333

so he can travel 18.333miles.

first we need to add the two separated cause of 1.5 Dollar in $2 tip which give us 3.5 dollar that is to be subtracted from the $20 you have. then the money that is left in your pocket is 16.5 dollar s this will be deducted 0.9 for every mile so dividing 16.5 by 0.9 gives 18.333.
