Answer:  The required number of miles rode is 4.6875.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the following situation for the value of d :

Tori needed to take a taxi. The fare for  riding in a taxi is a $3 fixed charge and $0.80 per mile. The fare  for a ride of d miles is $6.75.

According to the given information, we have

3+0.80d=6.75\\\\\Rightarrow 0.80d=6.75-3\\\\\Rightarrow 0.80d=3.75\\\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{3.75}{0.80}\\\\\Rightarrow d=4.6875.

Thus, the required number of miles rode is 4.6875.

Given the equation 6x + 18 = 72: Part A: Write a short word problem about a purchase made to illustrate the equation. (6 points)
bulgar [2K]

Considering the linear function 6x + 18 = 72, it is found that:

A. The problem is: You made a number of services for $6, plus a base pay of $18, and earned $72. How many services you made?

B. The solution is: x = 9.

C. In the context of this problem, the solution means that you made 9 services.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

The general format of a linear function is presented as follows:

y = mx + b.

In which the coefficients are:

  • m is the slope, representing  the variable amount, that is, by how much y changes when x is increased by one.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the fixed amount.

In this problem, the equation is:

6x + 18 = 72.

From the given equation, considering the slope of 6 and the intercept of 18, the problem can be presented as follows:

You made a number of services for $6, plus a base pay of $18, and earned $72. How many services you made?

The solution is found isolating the variable x, as follows:

6x = 72 - 18

6x = 54

x = 54/6

x = 9.

The solution x = 9 represents the number of services that you made, in the context of this problem.

Use the slope formula to determine the slope of a line that passes through the points (4, 9) and (-8, -6).
velikii [3]
Y = mx + c

gradient = -6-9/-8-4
= -15/-12
= 1.2

when x = 4 and y = 9,
9 = 1.2(4) + c
c = 9 - 4.8
= 4.2

The slope of the line is y = 1.2x + 4.2 .
