Answer:

The initial fee for the ticket is 3.5 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

For 4 stops, the price of a ticket is 8 dollars

For 8 stops, the price of a ticket is 14 dollars.

- The number of stops increased in this case is: 8 -4 = 4 stops

When there are more 4 stops, the price of a ticket also increase from 8 to 14 dollars => the increase in price is: 14 - 8 = 6 dollars.

Similarly, for 8 stops, the price of a ticket is 14 dollars.

For 12 stops, the price of a ticket is 20 dollars.

- The number of stops increased in this case is: 12 - 8 = 4 stops

When there are more 4 stops, the price of a ticket also increase from 14 to 20 dollars => the increase in price is: 20 - 14 = 6 dollars.

So that, the price for an extra stop is constant and equal to: 6/4 = 1.5 dollars

=> The price for 3 extra stops is: 1.5 x 3 = 4.5 dollars

For 4 stops, the price of a ticket is 8 dollars

=> The initial fee for the ticket = 8 dollars - The price for 3 extra stops = 8 - 4.5 = 3.5 dollars.

Shalnov [3]

Collapse the logarithms into one:

$\log_3(x+6)+\log_3(x-6)=\log_3((x+6)(x-6))=4$

Then write both sides as powers of 3:

$3^{\log_3((x+6)(x-6))}=3^4$

$(x+6)(x-6)=81$

Simplify the left side and solve for $x$ :

$x^2-36=81$

$x^2=117$

$x=\pm\sqrt{117}=\pm3\sqrt{13}$

But we're not done yet. Notice that both $x+6$ and $x-6$ are negative when $x=-3\sqrt{13}$ . We can't take the logarithm of a negative number (the result isn't real-valued, anyway), so we throw this solution out, and we're left with just

$x=3\sqrt{13}$

Nine out of ten students prefer math class over lunch. How many students do not prefer math if 200 students were asked?

fredd [130]

So, 9 out of 10 students prefer class, so, obviously, it would not be 100. It would be 150. So in conclusion, 50 students prefer lunch over math class, whilst 150 other students prefer math class over lunch.

4 pizzas cost £15. Work out the cost of 5 pizzas.

nadezda [96]

We can divide 15 by 4. This gives us 3.75. This means that each pizza costs $3.75. I can now multiply 3.75 by 5.

3.75(5) = 18.75

5 pizzas cost $18.75.
