Let's forget for the tie being the cost ($3.5)of the 1st fifth of a mile:
Taxi charge excluding $3.5, is $13.95 - $3.5 = $10.45.
If each of the 5th (1/5) of a mile costs $0.55, then with $10.45 we can drive:
10.45/0.55 = 19 fifth of a mile. Add to that the 1st fifth = 20 fifth of a mile
20 fifth = 20 x 1/5 = 4 miles (answer)
I believe it would be (b) (-2,1)
Answer:
the last option (-5k+4)-8 + 6k
Step-by-step explanation:
-8(-5k+4)+6k
to simplify, begin by distributing the -8 so that parentheses are removed:
=(-8)(-5k) + (-8)(4) + 6k
=40k - 32 + 6k
combine 'like terms':
46k-32
the only answer which simplifies to 46k-32 is the last option:
the only difference between the original problem and the last option is that the -8 value is behind the parentheses instead of in front of it; it simplifies to be 46k-32
