7 0

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this by creating a linear equation.

Slope: 2.50

Y-intercept: 4.70

y=2.50x+4.70

Since we know that the total fare was 24.70 we can plug it into the y.

24.70=2.50x+4.70

Now solve for the equation.

20=2.50x

8=x

So he went 8 miles with the taxi.

joja [24]

10 minutes is 1/6 of an hour.

1 hour and 10 minutes = 7/6 hours

98 km  / 7/6 = 98 x 6/7 = (98 x 6) /7 = 588/7 = 84 km per hour

Find the value of x.
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

  x = 16 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude divides the triangle into similar triangles. We can form the ratio between the hypotenuse and the short leg for two of the triangles. Those ratios will be a proportion:

  10/6 = ((x-6) +6)/10

  100/6 = x . . . . . multiply by 10 and simplify

  x = 16 2/3
