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]

A 10-foot ladder leans against a wall with its foot braced 3 feet from wallÍs base. How far up the wall does the ladder reach?
iren2701 [21]
The answer is √91 feet (which is the same as 9.54 feet).

Imagine this as a right triangle. A length of the foot is actually a hypotenuse (c). The distance from wall's base to the ladder foot is one of the sides of the triangle (let it be a).
So, using the Pythagorean theorem:
c² = a² + b²
It is given:
c = 10 feet
a = 3 feet
b = ?
     c² = a² + b²
⇒ 10² = 3² + b²
    100 = 9 + b²
    b² = 100 - 9 = 91
    ⇒ b = √b² = √91 ≈ 9.54 feet

Can you describe multiplying and dividing signed numbers in the real world? plz Explain
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The example I would be using is the level of a see-saw and take a point 1 /x of the way amid the middle and the left end. If you change the point vertically by f feet, the far right finish transfers vertically by f×−x feet. If you push down, f would be negative then you are multiplying two negative numbers for a positive result, this means that the other end moves up.
