Answer: 8 miles

Step-by-step explanation: If we drew out the problem we would get a right triangle where d is the hypotenuse and the 16 miles south and the 12 miles east would be the legs of such a triangle. Then using the Pythagorean theorem we get:

d^2=16^2+12^2=400

If we then take the square root of both sides we get:

d=\sqrt{400} =20

Then we realize that the pilot was forced to travel 8 extra miles because

(16+12)-20=28-20=8

lys-0071 [83]

The expression for the total cost of their trip is 7 + 2x + 3y.

As per the question, assuming the number of bottles to be x and number of bags to be y. The equation will have one time fee of admission, product of cost of bottles and number of bottles and product of cost of bags and number of chips bags.

The one time fee and two products will be added to form the expression. Forming the equation now -

Expression = 7 + 2x + 3y

Therefore, the expression of trip when x bottles of water were bought during the visit is 7 + 2x + 3y.
