The equation is x = 20.85 / 1.75 where x is the number of miles and the number of miles is 11.91 miles.

Given,

Sydney took a taxi from her house to the airport.

The taxi company charged a pick-up fee of $1.75 per mile.

The total fare was $20.85, not including the tip.

We need to write and solve an equation that can be used to determine the number of miles in the taxi ride.

We have,

Taxi fare per mile = $1.75

Total fare = $20.85

Find the number of miles in a total fare of $20.85.

$1.75 = 1 mile

Multiplying by 20.85 on both sides.

20.85 x $1.75 = 20.85 x 1 mile

Dividing by 1.75 on both sides.

(20.85 x $1.75) / 1.75  = (20.85 x 1 mile) / 1.75

$20.85 = 11.91 mile

We see that  11.91 miles will cost $20.85.

Write an equation to show this situation.

x = 20.85 / 1.75

Where x is the number of miles.

we get,

x = 20.85 / 1.75 = 11.91

Thus the equation is x = 20.85 / 1.75 and the number of miles is 11.91 miles.

Find the value of y.​
Bess [88]

Answer:

=6√3 the third option.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagoras theorem to find the value of y. We need two equations that include y.

a²+b²=c²

c=9+3=12

x²+y²=12²

x²=144 - y².........i (This is the first equation)

We can also express it in another way but let us find the perpendicular dropped to c.

perpendicular²= x²-3²=x²-9 according to the Pythagoras theorem.

y²=(x²-9)+9²

y²=x²+72

x²=y²-72....ii( this is the second equation

Let us equate the two.

y²-72=144-y²

2y²=144+72

2y²=216

y²=108

y=√108

In Surd form √108=√(36×3)=6√3

y=6√3

Michelle draws a card from a standard deck of 52 cards. She replaces the card and draws a second card. What is the probability t
erma4kov [3.2K]
To draw a heart, one would be choosing 1 card of 13 possible hearts, and 0 from the remaining 39 non-hearts. With respect to the entire deck, one would be choosing 1 card from 52 total cards. So the probability of drawing a heart is

\dfrac{\dbinom{13}1\cdot\dbinom{39}0}{\dbinom{52}1}=\dfrac{13\cdot1}{52}=\dfrac14

When Michelle replaces the card, the deck returns the normal, so the probability of drawing any card from a given suit is the same, \dfrac14. In other words, drawing a spade is independent of having drawn the heart first.

So the probability of drawing a heart, replacing it, then drawing a spade is \dfrac14\cdot\dfrac14=\dfrac1{16}.

Which graph represents the solution to the given system? y=5x+4; y=5x-3
Mars2501 [29]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

The lines do not intersect


Discussion:

Where do the lines intersect?

5x + 4 = 5x - 3     =>                   subtract 5x from both sides

4         =       -3      =>  NO WAY! The lines do not intersect


Thank you,

MrB
