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.

If a turtle walks 7/8 of a mile in 50 mins how far will he govin 60 mins​
max2010maxim [7]

50 min = 7/8 miles

1 min

= 7/8 ÷ 50 miles

= 7/8 × 1/50 miles

= 7/400 miles

So, 60 min

= 7/400 × 60 miles

= 7/40 × 6 miles

= 7/20 × 3 miles

= 21/20 miles

= 1.05 miles

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = 2x – 10?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

f⁻¹(x) = (1/2)x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

In y = f(x), swap the variables, then solve for y. The expression you get is f⁻¹(x).

... y = 2x -10

... x = 2y -10 . . . . . . swapped variables

... x +10 = 2y . . . . . add 10

... (1/2)x + 5 = y . . . . divide by 2

... f⁻¹(x) = (1/2)x + 5 . . . . . . rewrite using function notation
