 A taxi ride where the total fare is $3, $2 for every mile travelled plus a $1 tip and the original cost of $20.

First write a formula that expresses the cost of the ride:

Total cost= Flat fee + Mileage + Tip

Now let's drop in what we know:

20= 3+2 (miles) +1 - we know the total cost is 20, the fee of 3, the tip of 1 and the cost per mile of 2. The only thing we don't know is the number of miles. So let's solve for that.

Subtract 3 and 1 from both sides to get:

16=2(miles)

Divide both sides by 2:

8=miles
Therefore, you traveled 8 miles.

Mariana [72]

The question is incomplete. The map is attached as a photo and here is the complete question:

a. What is the actual distance between Saugerties and

Kingston? ___________________________

b. Catskill is 15 miles from Saugerties. What would the

distance on the map be? ___________________________

c. On another map, the distance between Saugerties and

Kingston is 2 inches. What would the distance from Saugerties to

Catskill be on this map? __________________

Since you have asked the answer for part (c) only, here is the answer:

Answer:

<u>The distance from Saugerties to Catskill would be </u><u>3 inches</u><u> on this map.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

On the given map, the distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 4 inches and the scale is <u>1 inch = 2.5 miles.</u>

To calculate the actual distance in miles between Saugerties and Kingston, consider the given scale:

1 inch ---------- 2.5 miles

4 inches ------ x miles

Cross multiplying:

1x = 2.5 x 4

x = 10 miles

The actual distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 10 miles.

On another map, the distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 2 inches. Which means the scale is 2 inches = 10 miles. So 1 inch = 10/2 = 5 miles

The scale on the other map is 1 inch = 5 miles.

Catskill is 15 miles from Saugerties (given in the previous part). So on the map:

1 inch -------- 5 miles

y inch ------- 15 miles

Cross multiplying:

15 = 5y

y = 15/5

<u>y = 3 inches.</u>

The distance from Saugerties to Catskill would be 3 inches on this map.

What numbers multiply to -30 and add to -3
krek1111 [17]
Let the numbers be x and y.  Then xy = -30 and  x+y = -3.

Solve xy = -30 for y:    y = -30/x

subst. -30/x for y in   x+y= -3:     x  -  30/x = -3

Multiply all 3 terms by x:  x^2 - 30 = -3x, so   x^2 + 3x - 10 = 0

Solve this quadratic equation for x.     x: {-5, 2}

If x = -5, then   x+y = -3 becomes -5 + y = -3, and y = 2.

You should check to determine whether x=2 is also correct.  If it is, what is the corresponding y value?
