Answer:

the cost of Roy's ride is $23.05

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

Let, Cost of per minute charge is 'x' & Cost Of Per Kilometre charge is y .

  • Given, A ride-share company has a fee of the fixed cost of a ride is $2.55 .
  • And, The Total cost of the Ride depends on both the time spent on travelling(in minutes), and the distance travelled(in kilometres) .

⇒ Judy's ride costs $16.75 . but the actual cost after deducting the fixed charge is 16.75-2.55 = $14.20, took 8 minutes & The distance travelled was 10 km. Thus, the equation for the journey is 8x+10y=14.20 ⇒ Equ. 1

⇒ Pat's ride costs $30.35 . but the actual cost after deducting the fixed charge is 30.35-2.55 = $27.80, took 20 minutes & The distance travelled was 18 km. Thus, the equation for the journey is 20x+18y=27.80 ⇒ Equ. 2

Now, on Solving Equation 1 & 2, We get

x=0.4(Cost of per minute charge) & y=1.1(Cost Of Per Kilometre charge)

Now, Roy's ride took 10 minutes & The distance travelled was 15 km . Thus, the cost of Roy's Ride is 10x+15y ⇔ 10×0.4 + 15×1.1 ⇔ $20.5

Hence, the total cost of Roy's ride is 20.5 + 2.55(fixed cost) = $23.05

How would you draw a counterexample to this?
NeX [460]
Melanie said: 
Every angle bisector in a triangle bisects the opposite side perpendicularly.

A 'counterexample' would show an angle bisector in a triangle that DOESN'T
bisect the opposite side perpendicularly.

See my attached drawing of a counterexample.

Both of the triangles that Melanie examined have equal sides on both sides
of the angle bisector.  That's the only way that the angle bisector can bisect
the opposite side perpendicularly.  Melanie didn't examine enough different
triangles.
