F = 2.25 + 0.20(m-1)

F = 6.05

6.05 = 2.25 + 0.20(m-1)

Subtract 2.25 on both sides

6.05 - 2.25 = 0.20(m-1)

3.8 = 0.2(m-1)

Divide both sides by 0.2

3.8/0.2 = m - 1

19 = m - 1

Add 1 on both sides

19 + 1 = m

m = 20
 
If Juan's taxi fare was $6.05, then Juan traveled 20 miles in the taxi.

In this problem, it is just a simple case of substitution and solving for the m which is the number of miles. Take the equation F = 2.25 + 0.20 (m-1). According to the given, the fare, or the F is 6.05 so with that, we can already solve the equation. this will be 6.05 = 2.25 + 0.20 (m-1). After that, all we have to do is just solve for the m. If we would solve for the m, we will end up with a final answer of 20. So all in all, the taxi was able to travel 20 miles on the 6.05 fare of Juan

Whats the difference between linear equations and quadratic equation
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear equation in two variables doesn't involve any power higher than one for either variable. It has the general form Ax + By + C = 0, where A, B and C are constants. ... A quadratic equation, on the other hand, involves one of the variables raised to the second power. It has the general form y = ax2 + bx + c

Use the information in the diagram to determine the height of the tree. The diagram is not a scale
dusya [7]
In the given diagram, we can note that the tree divides the hypotenuse of the triangle as well as the side where the tree is based into halves.

In a triangle, when a line is drawn joining between the midpoints of two sides, this line is always parallel to the third side and equals half its length.

Applying this concept to the given diagram here, we will find that the tree is joining the midpoints of two sides of the triangle. this means that the tree is parallel to the building and the height of the tree is half the height of the building.

Therefore:
height of tree = 0.5 * 120 = 60 ft

What is the probability of getting exactly 5 “heads” in 10 coin flips ?
castortr0y [4]

There are \dbinom{10}5=\dfrac{10!}{5!(10-5)!}=252 ways of getting exactly 5 heads in 10 tosses. There are 2^{10}=1024 possible outcomes. So the probability of getting exactly 5 heads is

\dfrac{252}{1024}=\dfrac{63}{256}\approx24.61\%
