Answer:

(25,18) is the required solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Let x be the number of trips to the airport and y represent the number of trips from the airport.

Total number of fares  to and from the airport = 43

Thus, we can write the equation:

x+y = 43

Price for a ride to the airport = $12

Price for a ride from the airport = $10

Total amount collected by the driver = $480

Thus, we can write the equation:

12x+10y=480

Solving the two equations, we get,

12x+12y-(12x+10y)=516-480\\\Rightarrow 2y =36\\\Rightarrow y = 18\\\Rightarrow x = 43-18=25

Thus, the driver made 25 trips to the airport and 18 trips from the airport.

The solution can be represented as (25,18)

Ronch [10]
Point slope formula:
(y₂ -y₁) = m(x₂ - x₁)
(1 - 0) = \frac{1}{5}(4 - X)
1 = \frac{4}{5} - \frac{1}{5} X
\frac{1}{5} =  -\frac{1}{5} X

-1 = X
