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.

How can you get equation b from equation A. 3(x+2)=18 B. X+2=18
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

We start with the equation:

A: 3*(x + 2) = 18

And we want to construct equation B:

B: X + 2 = 18

where I suppose that X is different than x.

Because in both equations the right side is the same thing, then the left side also should be the same thing, this means that:

3*(x + 2) = X + 2

Now we can isolate the variable x.

(x + 2) = (X + 2)/3

x = (X + 2)/3 - 2

Then we need to replace x by  (X + 2)/3 - 2 in equation A, and we will get equation B.

Let's do it:

A: 3*(x + 2) = 18

Now we can replace x by =  (X + 2)/3 - 2

3*( (X + 2)/3 - 2 + 2) = 18

3*(  (X + 2)/3 ) = 18

3*(X + 2)/3 = 18

(X + 2) = 18

Which is equation B.

X+y+z=92

y=3x

z=2x-10
subsitute
x+3x+2x-10=92
6x-10=92
add 10 to both sdies
6x=102
divide by 6
x=17
subsitute

y=3x
y=3(17)
y=51

z=2x-10
z=2(17)-10
z=34-10
z=24



x=17
y=51
z=24

the numbers are 17,51,24
