Let's see.
4x/5 + 4/3 = 2x
First we have to make each denominator the same, so I'll multiply 4x/5 by 3/3, 4/3 by 5/5, and 2x by 15/15
Now we have 12x/15 + 20/15 = 30x/15
With everything in the same denominator we can solve the new equation of
12x + 20 = 30x
20 = 18x
10 = 9x
X= 10/9
a) The cost for 10 mile taxi ride is $18
b) The cost for m mile taxi ride is 1.5 m + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
The fixed charges for the pick up = $3
Charges per mile = $1.50
Let s denote the total miles driven and t be the total cost for the trip
This can be represented by the equation
t = 3 + 1.5s
Step 2:
Distance traveled by Jonathan in his trip = 10 miles
So cost for riding 10 miles is
t = 3 + 1.5(10) = 3 + 15 = $18
The cost for 10 mile taxi ride is $18
Step 3 :
If the distance traveled is m miles, then substituting s = m in the above equation we get the cost as 1.5 m + 3
Step 4 :
Answer :
a) The cost for 10 mile taxi ride is $18
b) The cost for m mile taxi ride is 1.5 m + 3
3/10 of the time = time spent on practicing warm up routines...
Time spent = 15 hours
remember that 'of' is usually multiply (x)
so ---- 3/10 x 15 =4.5 hrs
Hope this helps
