Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
- Length of the one portion of the board = x feet
- Length of the another portion = (7x – 9) feet
According to the question,
Total length = Sum of the length of the two pieces
Total length = {x + (7x – 9)} feet
Total length = {x + 7x – 9} feet
<u>Total length = (8x – 9) feet</u>
Therefore, the total length of the board as a simplified expression in x is (8x – 9) feet.
a) The cost for 10 mile taxi ride is $18
b) The cost for m mile taxi ride is 1.5 m + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
The fixed charges for the pick up = $3
Charges per mile = $1.50
Let s denote the total miles driven and t be the total cost for the trip
This can be represented by the equation
t = 3 + 1.5s
Step 2:
Distance traveled by Jonathan in his trip = 10 miles
So cost for riding 10 miles is
t = 3 + 1.5(10) = 3 + 15 = $18
The cost for 10 mile taxi ride is $18
Step 3 :
If the distance traveled is m miles, then substituting s = m in the above equation we get the cost as 1.5 m + 3
Step 4 :
Answer :
a) The cost for 10 mile taxi ride is $18
b) The cost for m mile taxi ride is 1.5 m + 3

1/5 of 65 is
65 × 1 / 5
65 / 5
= 13
65 and 13 add up to 78.
65 is the highest number out of both numbers.
