Answer:
The distance is 8 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to write an equation for each of chauffeured car services.
The first one = 28 + 2x = ?
The second one = 13 + 5x = ?
Next, we need to figure out what x is. Usually I just plug in random numbers, but I'm sure there's a better way to do it.
I first plugged in 2 as x.
28 + 4 = 32
13 + 10 = 23
That didn't work, so I then plugged in 5.
28 + 10 = 38
13 + 25 = 38
So 5 would be the correct answer for what is the distance.
Answer:
The answer is -5 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-4y=10
or,4y=3x-10
or,y=(3x-10)/4
so,y=3/4 x-5/2
Answer:
<em>7, 22</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let S = the smaller number.
"The larger number is 1 more than 3 times the smaller number."
The larger number is 3S + 1.
The difference between the numbers is 15, so the larger number minus the smaller number equals 15.
3S + 1 - S = 15
2S + 1 = 15
2S = 14
S = 7
The smaller number is 7.
larger number = 3S + 1 = 3(7) + 1 = 21 + 1 = 22
The larger number is 22.
