Answer:

28 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of miles

y ----> the total cost of taxi fare

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope or unit rate

b is the y-intercept or initial value (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)

In this problem we have

The unit rate or slope is equal to

m=\$0.20\ per\ mile

The initial value or y-intercept is equal to

b=\$2.40

substitute

y=0.20x+2.40

Find out how many miles can you ride for $10

Subtract $2 of the tip

we have

y=$10-$2=$8

substitute in the linear equation

8=0.20x+2.40

Solve for x

0.20x=8-2.40

0.20x=5.60

[tex]x=28\ miles/tex]

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line with slope 1/4 and y-intercept -1. PLEASE HELP MEEE : (
iragen [17]
<h3>Answer:  y = (1/4)x - 1 which is the same as y = \frac{1}{4}x-1</h3>

Explanation:

We have the general slope intercept form y = mx+b. All we do is replace m with the given slope 1/4, and replace b with the y intercept -1.

So we have y = mx+b turn into y = (1/4)x+(-1) which simplifies to y = (1/4)x-1.

What is the value of x?
Zepler [3.9K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle bisector divides the sides proportionally.

  (2x -1)/9 = 3x/15

  5(2x -1) = 3(3x) . . . . . . multiply by 45

  10x -5 = 9x . . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  x = 5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 5-9x

The sum of 6 consecutive integers is 204. what is the fourth number in this sequence?
zloy xaker [14]

Let x by the smallest of the 6 integers. Then

x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)+(x+4)+(x+5)=204

\implies6x+15=204

\implies6x=189

But 189 is odd, so it cannot be divisible by 6, which means x is not an integer...
