Answer:

x = 3

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x -4y = -7

4x + 3y = 24

write the first equation in terms of y

3x - 4y = -7

3x + 7 = 4y

3x/4 + 7/4 = y

now substitute that into the second equation

4x + 3y = 24

4x + 3(3x/4 + 7/4) = 24

4x + 2.25x + 5.25 = 24

6.25x + 5.25 = 24

6.25x = 24 - 5.25

6.25x = 18.75

x = 18.75/6.25

x = 3

last step, substitute x for 3 in the equation.

y = 3x/4 + 7/4

y = 3*3/4 + 7/4

y = 9/4 + 7/4

y = 4

Answer:

\boxed{x = 3 \: and \: y = 4}

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 4y = -7.....(eq)1 \\ 4x + 3y = 24 .....(eq)2 \\ \boxed{step \:   1}\\ \times 4....3x - 4y = -7 \\  \times 3....4x + 3y = 24  \\\boxed{step \:   2} \\ 12x - 16y =  - 28 \\ 12x + 9y = 72 \\ \boxed{step \:   3} \\ 12x - 12x  - 16y - ( + 9y) =  - 28 - 72 \\  - 25y =  - 100 \\ y =  \frac{ - 100}{ - 25}  \\\boxed{ y = 4}\\.................. \\  \boxed{step \:   4} \\ substitute \: the \: value \: of \: y \: in \: .....(eq)1 \\ 3x - 4y = -7 \\ 3x - 4(4) =  - 7 \\ 3x - 16 =  - 7 \\ 3x =  - 7 + 16 \\ 3x = 9 \\ x =  \frac{9}{3}  \\ \boxed{ x = 3}

A taxi company charges passengers $2.00 for a ride, no matter how long the ride is, and an additional $0.20 for each mile travel
Alchen [17]
<span>c =0.20m + 2.00

Where c is the cost and m = number of miles,

For a 2.7 mile ride, m = 2.7
</span>
<span>c  = 0.20m + 2.00,    m = 2.7
</span>
<span>c = 0.20*2.7 + 2

c = 0.54 + 2

c = 2.54

Charge for the ride = $2.54

I hope this helps.
