Answer:

60 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of miles  

we know that

The number of miles multiplied by $0.60 per mile plus $2 plus the charge of $5.50 for tolls (because you are travelling from the airport)  must be equal to  $43.50

so

The linear equation that represent this problem is

0.60x+2+5.50=43.50

Solve for x

Combine like terms left side

0.60x+7.50=43.50

subtract 7.50 both sides

0.60x=43.50-7.50

0.60x=36

divide by 0.60 both sides

x=60\ miles

Answer:

2.45c + 1.65c = 4.12 + 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation to find the value for c, we need to declare what c is first.

c = price of fruit

2.45c + 1.65c = 4.12 + 0.75

Now we multiplied c to 2.45 and 1.65 and added them together, because whatever the value of c is will give us the equivalence of the sum of 4.12 + 0.75.

Now to check if the equation is right, let's solve for c.

2.45c + 1.65c = 4.12 + 0.75

4.1c = 4.87

Now to get the value of c, we divide both sides of the equation by 4.1.

\dfrac{4.1c}{4.1}=\dfrac{4.87}{4.1}

c = 1.19

Now let's substitute the value of c in the equation to see if we got it right.

2.45(1.19) + 1.65(1.19) = 4.12 + 0.75

2.92 + 1.96 = 4.87

4.87 = 4.87

Therefore concluding that the value of c is 1.19.
