In Niagara-on-the-Lake, you can ride a horse-drawn carriage for a fixed price plus a variable amount that depends on the length

of the trip. The variable cost is $10/km and a 2.5-km trip costs $40. a) Determine the equation relating cost, C, in dollars, and distance, d, in kilometres. b) Use your equation to find the cost of a 6.5-km ride. c) Graph this relation. d) Use the graph to find the cost of a 6.5-km ride.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The cost of a product is given as:

Cost = a + bx

Where a is the fixed cost, b is the variable cost, x is the independent variable.

In this case, the independent variable is the distance(d), therefore:

Cost (C) = a + bd

C = a + bd

But the variable cost is $10/km, therefore:

C = a + 10d

A 2.5 km trip cost $40, therefore:

40 = a + 10(2.5)

40 = a + 25

a = 40 - 25 = 15

The fixed cost is $15. Therefore the equation for cost is:

C = 15 + 10d  

b) C = 15 + 10d  

For 6.5 km ride:

C = 15 + 10(6.5) = 15 + 65 = 80

It would cost $80 for a 6.5 km drive.

Which system is equivalent to
sammy [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

D) 6x^2 - 8y^2 = 50

-6x^2 - 2y^2 = 11

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given the following two expressions:

3x^2-4y^2=25

and

-6x^2-2y^2=11

Now if we look at the option D) 6x^2 - 8y^2 = 50&#10; and -6x^2 - 2y^2 = 11, we can observe that the earlier part in the given expression is just a simplification of 6x^2 - 8y^2 = 50.

6x^2 - 8y^2 = 50\\\\2(3x^2-4y^2) = 50\\\\3x^2-4y^2 = \frac{50}{2} \\\\3x^2-4y^2=25

and the later part -6x^2 - 2y^2 = 11 is already the same.

Therefore, the correct answer option is D)  6x^2 - 8y^2 = 50

-6x^2 - 2y^2 = 11.

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the points he scored in his best game. x-8 would then represent each of his last 3 games.

(x-8)*3 = 2x

3x-24=2x

x=24

Jeremiah is working on a model bridge. He needs to create triangular components, and he plans to use toothpicks. He finds three
icang [17]

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation:

According to triangle inequality theorem which state that: the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side.

Now let's test the given parameters if they obey this theorem

4 inches, 5 inches and 1 inch

4 + 5 = 9

9 > 1 correct

5 + 1 = 6

6 > 4 correct

4 + 1 = 5

5 not > 5 wrong

Therefore he won't be able to create the triangular component with these toothpicks without modifying any of the lengths

A train leaves at 08.43 and arrives at its destination at 09.23. If the train travelled 73 km, what was it's average speed in km
serg [7]

Answer: 109.5 km/ hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = 73 km

Time = 40 minutes = 40/60 = 2/3 hours

Speed = Distance / time

= 73 / 2/3

= 73 x 3/2 = 219 / 2 = 109.5 km/hr
