16.2 miles.
Since she paid a $5 tip, the cost for her fare was $23.50. Let x be the number of 0.2-mile increments in the trip:
23.50 = 2.50 + 1 + 0.25(x-1)
This equation comes from the 2.50 home pick-up fee; $1 for the first 0.2-mile increment; and 0.25 for each other 0.2-mile increment.
Using the distributive property, we have:
23.50 = 2.50 + 1 + 0.25*x - 0.25*1
23.50 = 2.50 + 1 + 0.25x - 0.25
Combining like terms,
23.50 = 0.25x + 2.75
Subtracting 2.75 from both sides, we have:
23.50 - 2.75 = 0.25x + 2.75 - 2.75
20.25 = 0.25x
Dividing both sides by 0.25, we have:
20.25/0.25 = 0.25x/0.25
81 = x
This means there are 81 0.2-mile increments in her trip. 81(0.2) = 16.2 miles
You multiply those and you get d = 325 m
Both of the problems equal 600
Answer:
|x|=6 we have x1=-6 x2=6
|x|=3.2 we have x1=-3.2 x2=3.2
|x|=0 x=0
