Mia took a taxi from her house to the airport

The taxi charged a pick up fee of $1.30

They also charged $4.25 per mile

The total fare was $31.05

The number of miles can be calculated as follows

31.05 - 1.30 = 4.25x

29.75= 4.25x

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 4.25

29.75/4.25= 4.25x/4.25

x= 7

Hence the taxi ride was 7 miles
