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)

On a special right triangle if the sides are 6 and 6 then what is the hypothinus
Black_prince [1.1K]
We are talking about a right triangle so the phytagoras equation can be used:
a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}
6^{2} + 6^{2} = 36 + 36 = 72 =  c^{2}
\sqrt{ c^{2} } = \sqrt{72} =8.48528...
So the hypothinus is equal to approximately 8.49
