Sorry, don’t know the answer
Answer:
n= 36
Step-by-step explanation:
18=n-18 (add 18 to both sides of the equation, 18 and -18 cancel out)
36=n
Here we must write and solve a linear equation to find the number of miles that Arun traveled in the taxi. We will find that Eva traveled 11 miles.
So we know that the taxi charges a fee of $4.10 and then a plus of $0.50 per mile.
So if you travel for m miles, the cost equation is:
C(m) = $4.10 + $0.50*m
Now, we know that for Eva the total fare (total cost) was $9.60, then we need to solve:
$9.60 = C(m) = $4.10 + $0.50*m
$9.60 = $4.10 + $0.50*m
$9.60 - $4.10 = $0.50*m
$5.50 = $0.50*m
$5.50/$0.50 = m = 11
This means that Arun traveled 11 miles in the taxi.
