The answer to your question is 114
Each ride has a fixed cost of 7 and a cost that increases proportionally to the distance travelled of 0.25 per mile. Therefore the total cost of the ride is:
Where "x" is the distance in miles. Marco can only spend 30 on his ride, therefore the cost must be less or equal to that value.
We can solve the linear equation by isolating the "x" variable on the left side.
Marco's travel must be shorter or equal to 92 miles.
Answer:
16x-20
Step-by-step explanation:
(8x-30)+6x+(2x+10)
8x-30+6x+2x+10
8x+6x+2x-30+10
14x+2x-20
16x-20
Answer:
x + y = 180
and,
x = 3y
Step-by-step explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Total area of the farm = 180 acre
x represents the acre in which corn is planted
y represents the acre in which wheat is planted
Thus,
Area of corn + Area of wheat = Total area of farm
x + y = 180 ................. (1)
also,
From the statement, farmer wants to plant three times as many acres of corn as wheat
we can conclude
Area of corn = 3 times the area of wheat
or
x = 3y ................(2)
So, we have system of linear equations that represent the situation as
x + y = 180
and,
x = 3y
