Part A answer: 2x+5. x is the number of miles driven.

Part B answer: $305. Plug in 150 for x, and the equation is 2*150+5=x, x being your answer that you are looking for. Do the Order of Operations, which is PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication and Division from left to right, Addition and Subtraction from left to right.) So in other words, do 2*150 first, and you get 300. Now your equation is 300+5=x. Add 300+5, and you get 305=x. So your answer is $305.

The equation will be:
y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y-intercept

In this case:
m=2
b=5

x= number of miles
C(x)=cost of a trip.

C(x)=2x+5

A)
Answer: the equation to represent the situation would be C(x)=2x+5; when x=number of miles traveled.

B)
If x=150
then:
C(150)=2(150)+5=300+5=305

answer. the taxi service for 150 miles driven would be $305.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula of a midpoint:

$\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\ \dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$

We have the points P(-2a, 0) and Q(0, 2b). Substitute:

$x=\dfrac{-2a+0}{2}=\dfrac{-2a}{2}=-a\\\\y=\dfrac{0+2b}{2}=\dfrac{2b}{2}=b$

The original price of a pair of shoes is $42 the sale price is 20% off their original price what is the amount of original price

Brrunno [24]

First you convert 20% into a decimal which is 0.2 and multiply that by 42 and you get 8.4, that's the discount. Then you subtract 8.4 from 42 and get $33.60 which is your answer. Hope this helps!!
