The company charges $1.40 per mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of 6.5 miles ride = $12.00

Cost of 9 mile ride = $15.50

Let,

x be the cost per mile.

y be the pick up fee.

Total cost = Cost per mile*distance + pick up fee

According to statement;

6.5x+y=12.00    Eqn 1

9x+y=15.50       Eqn 2

Subtracting Eqn 1 from Eqn 2

(9x+y)-(6.5x+y)=15.50-12.00\\9x+y-6.5x-y=3.50\\2.5x=3.50

Dividing both sides by 2.50

\frac{2.50x}{2.50}=\frac{3.50}{2.50}\\x=1.40

The company charges $1.40 per mile.

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

x² + 5x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Foil means first, outside, inside, last

First: (x+2)(x+3)

x × x = x²

Inside: (x+2)(x+3)

x × 3 = 3x

Ouside: (x+2)(x+3)

2 × x = 2x

Last: (x+2)(x+3)

2 × 3 = 6

adding them together:

x² + 3x + 2x + 6 = x² + 5x + 6
