Answer:

The trip contains 4 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where

  • m is the rate of change or slope
  • b is the y-intercept

Given that A taxi charges $1.75, meaning the initial condition of the trip is to charge $1.75.

Thus, y-intercept b = 1.75

Also, the taxi charges a fee of $0.75 for each mile traveled.

Thus, rate of change or slope m = 0.75

Let 'y' be the total cost

Let 'x' be the number of miles

Given that the total cost of a ride, without a tip, is $4.75.

so substitute y = 4.75, rate of change or slope m = 0.75, and the y-intercept b = 1.75 in the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx + b

4.75 = 0.75(x) + 1.75

switch sides

0.75(x) + 1.75 = 4.75

subtract 1.75 from both sides

0.75x + 1.75 - 1.75 = 4.75 - 1.75

0.75x = 3

divide both sides by 0.75

0.75x/0.75 = 3/0.75

x = 4 miles

Therefore, the trip contains 4 miles.

two blocks of wood are shaped as right rectangle prisms the smaller block has a length of 9 cm a width of 3 cm and a height of 7
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

1,512 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for the volume of a prism is:

V= Bh, where B = the area of the base and h = height of the prism

Given the dimensions of the smaller block as 9cm x 3cm x 7cm, then the dimensions of the larger block (double the dimensions of the smaller block) must be 18cm x 6cm x 14cm.  Using these measurements:

V = (18)(6)(14) = 1,512 cm³

Aloiza [94]

First, find out how much ribbon there is.

3 x 12 = 36

Now, see how many times you can divde that by 8.

36 can only be divided by 8 four times, and there would be 4 inches of ribbon left.

So, you would be able to make 4 bows, with 4 inches of ribbon remaining.
