To calculate the cost of the cab ride, we need to add the fixed rate of $2 per cab ride to the additional cost per mile, which is $2 per mile driven.
In this case, the cab ride is 7 miles long, so we need to multiply the additional cost per mile by 7.
The additional cost for 7 miles is $2/mile * 7 miles = $14.
Now, we can add the fixed rate and the additional cost to get the total cost:
Total cost = Fixed rate + Additional cost = $2 + $14 = $16.
Therefore, the cost of a 7-mile cab ride would be $16.
