The Allied Taxi Company charges $2.50 to pick up a passenger and then adds $1.95 per mile. Isaac was charged $27.46 to go from o

ne city to another. If x represents the number of miles driven by the taxi, which linear equation can be used to solve this problem, and how many miles did Isaac travel, rounded to the nearest tenth?

Answer:

Isaac traveled 12.8 miles by taxi for $27.46.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula required here is

$2.50 + ($1.95/mile)x = $27.46.

We need to solve this for x, the number of miles traveled:

Subtract $2.50 from both sides, obtaining:

($1.95/mile)x = $24.96

Now divide both sides by ($1.95/mile):

   $24.96

------------------ = 12.8 miles

($1.95/mile)

Isaac traveled 12.8 miles by taxi for $27.46.

Twice the complement of angles A is 40 less than the supplement of angle A. Find the measure of angle A
Serggg [28]
Complement adds to 90
complement of A is 90-A


supplement is adds to 180
supplemetn of A is 180-A

2(90-A) is -40+180-A

2(90-A)=-40+180-A
2(90-A)=140-A
distribute
180-2A=140-A
add 2A to both sides
180=140+A
minus 140 both sides
40=A

A=40 degres

A cross shaped pattern is made by arranging four identical rectangles around the sides of a square. The area of the square is 36
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Area of a square is length * length

Area of a rectangle is length * breadth

In the question, the area of the square is 36

And the area of the rectangle is 1(1/3) the area of the square

To find the area of the rectangle, multiply 1(1/3) by the area of the square(36)

Area of rectangle becomes, 1(1/3) * 36 = (4/3) * 36 = 48cm2

To find the perimeter of the shape, we must find the perimeter of the rectangle - perimiter of the square

Since area of square is length * length, the length of the square is 6cm

The breadth of the rectangle is equal to the length of the square, hence, b = 6cm

Since, length * breadth = 48

l * 6 = 48

l = 8

Perimeter of the shape = 4 * perimeter of rectangle - perimter of square

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b)

Perimeter of sqaure = 4l

Our answer = 4 * 2(6+8) - 4(6)

= 4 * 28 - 36

= 88cm
