Answer:

Alice will have to pay $13.33

Ben will have to pay $23.33

Kelvin will have to pay $43.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Alice destination is 20 miles away

Ben destination is 30 miles away

Calvin destination is 40 miles away.

For a mile, taxi costs 2 dollars.

To find:

How much each person has to pay if they share the same taxi to their respective destinations?

Solution:

For the first 20 miles, the taxi will be shared by all 3 of them.

Charges for 20 miles = 20 \times 2 = $40

This $40 will be shared among all 3.

Each will pay = \frac{40}{3} = \$13.33

Charges for Alice = $13.33

Charges for Ben = $13.33

Charges for Calvin = $13.33

For the next 10 miles, the taxi will be shared by Ben and Calvin.

Charges for 10 miles = 10 \times 2 = $20

This $20 will be shared between Ben and Calvin.

Each will pay = \frac{20}{2} = \$10

Charges for Alice = $13.33

Charges for Ben = $13.33 + 10 = $23.33

Charges for Calvin = $13.33 + 10 = $23.33

For the next 10 miles, Calvin travels alone.

Charges for 10 miles = 10 \times 2 = $20

This $20 will be paid by Calvin alone.

Charges for Alice = $13.33

Charges for Ben = $23.33

Charges for Calvin = $23.33 + 20 = $43.33

The answer is A. To understand that, you need to put it in order by the x's and the y's to get x^2-6x + y^2-16y = -48. Now complete the square on both the x and the y terms to get (x^2-6x+9) +(y^2-16y+64) = -48+9+64. Rewriting that in vertex form on the left and doing the math on the right gives you
(x-3)^2 + (y-8)^2 = 25, which shows you a center of (3,8) and a radius of 5.
