I'm confused... The cost in dollars of an n-mile trip with Supreme Taxi Service is given by 1.5+1.75n. 1.5 plus 1.75 n The cost

of an n-mile trip using Town Taxi Service is given by 1.9+1.6n. 1.9 plus 1.6 n For rides between 1 and 10 miles, which service would you choose? Explain.

the town taxi service would be cheapest because you choose a number 1-10 and plug it into N for both equations and see which taxi service is cheaper for miles 1-10 and than it will change for longer distance taxi rides and be the Supreme town taxi service!

The town taxi service is the answer

Hope this helped!!

Compare the costs on both taxi services for rides of 1-10 miles. Which company's prices are generally lower for that range?

Let x = 1 mile.

Supreme: $1.50+$1.75(1) = $3.25; Town: $1.90 + $1.60(1) = $3.50

Next, let x = 10 miles:

Supreme: $1.50+$1.75(10) = $19.00; Town: $1.90 + $1.60(10) = $17.90

Sometimes Supreme is the cheaper option; sometimes Town is. At what # of miles are the charges the same?

Set the charge functions = to each other and solve for x:

$1.50+$1.75x = $1.90 + $1.60x

Combining like terms, we get:

$0.15x = $0.40, so that x = 2 2/3 miles.

Supreme is the cheaper, for trips of 1 - 2 2/3 miles; Town is the cheaper, for trips of 2 2/3 miles - 10 miles.

inn [45]

Answer:

In the graph we can find two points, lets select:

(2, 15) and (4, 30)

Those are the first two points.

Now, for two pairs (x1, y1) (x2, y2)

The slope of the linear equation y = s*x + b that passes trough those points is:

s = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

So the slope for our equation is

s = (30 - 15)/(4 - 2) = 15/2

then our linear equation is

y = (15/2)*x + b

now we can find b by imposing that when x = 2, y must be 15 (for the first point we selected)

15 = (15/2)*2 + b = 15 + b

b = 15 - 15 = 0

then our equation is:

y = (15/2)*x

Where we used a division and a multiplication.

Fill in the missing numbers<br>I need an answer ASAP<br><br>​
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

the missing numbers be 60 and 6 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the missing numbers are shown below:

Let us assume the missing numbers be x

a/

, \frac{1}{2} \times 30 =  \frac{1}{4} \times x\\\\15 =    \frac{1}{4} \times x\\\\x = 60

b.

\frac{1}{3} \times 12 =  \frac{2}{3} \times x\\\\4 =    \frac{2}{3} \times x\\\\x = 6

Hence, the missing numbers be 60 and 6 respectively
