We are given the equation:
F = 2.25+0.2(m-1)
where:
F is the fare
m is the number of miles.
In question 7, we are given that the fare (F) is equal to $6.05 and we need to get the number of miles. To do so, we will simply substitute with the fare in the given equation and solve for the number of miles (m) as follows:
F = 2.25 + 0.2(m-1)
6.05 = 2.25 + 0.2(m-1)
6.05-2.25 = 0.2(m-1)
3.8 = 0.2(m-1)
3.8/0.2 = m-1
19 = m-1
m = 19+1
m = 20 miles
Number 8 is exactly the same, but we will substitute F=7.65 and again solve for m
Let 2x – y = 3 ——— equation 1
Let x + 5y = 14 ——— equation 2
Making x the subject in eqn 1, = x = y + 3 / 2 ——— eqn 3
• Put eqn 3 in eqn 2
(y + 3 / 2) + 5y = 14
6y = 14 – 3/2
6y = 25/2
y = 25/12
• put y = 25/12 in eqn 3
x = (25/12 + 3/2)
x = 43/12
Answer: x = -4 or x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 - 3x - 28 =/>
(factor)
(x^2 + 4)(x-7) = 0
x + 4 = 0 or x - 7 = 0
(subtract -4 from 0 and 7 from 0)
x = -4 or x =7
