4x + 3y = 26
x = 3/2y + 2

solving for y:

4 (3/2y + 2) + 3y = 26
6y + 8 + 3y = 26
9y + 8 =26
9y = 18
y = 2

solving for x:
x = 3/2(2) + 2
x = 3 + 2
x = 5

done.
**optional: use second equation to check

Two taxi companies in a city only charge by mileage and do not charge an initial fee. If Taxi 1 charges $3.00 per miles and Taxi

Bumek [7]

Answer:

A 12 mile ride in Taxi 1 costs $36.00, and in Taxi 2 it costs $34.20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Charges of taxi 1 = $3.00 per mile

Charges of taxi 2 = $1.77 per kilometer

1 mile = 1.61 kilometers

To find:

Cost of a 12 miles ride for taxi 1 and taxi 2.

Solution:

Let us first convert the charges of each taxi to per mile.

Taxi 1 charges are already given in per mile.

Charges for 1 mile = $3

Charges for 12 miles = 3 $\times$ 12 = $36

Taxi 2 charges = 1.77 $\times$ 1.61 = $2.85 per mile

Charges for 12 miles = 2.85 $\times$ 12 = $34.20

Therefore, the answer is:

A 12 mile ride in Taxi 1 costs $36.00, and in Taxi 2 it costs $34.20.

Key words of this equation are of which means multiply. This means that essetnially it is expressing 4/1 multiplied by 5/12 which is 20/12 which is 1.7 (rounded)

Evaluate 3(x+4)(x+1)/(x+2)(x-2) if x = 4 a.-10 B.10/3 C.-10/3 D.10

lianna [129]

We would plug in x to all of those equations. So, 3(4+4)(4+1)/(4+2)(4-2). This would be 3(8)(5)/(6)(2). Then multiply them. 3(8)(5) would be 120. (6)(2) would be 12. Then divide 120 and 12 to get 10.
