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.

How do you solve -1x+20 is greater than -7+35
rusak2 [61]

\huge\fbox{Hello~there!}

Let's solve this inequality!

\rm{-x+20>-7+35

What can we do to solve this inequality? Well, first of all, we can add -7 and 35:

\rm{-x+20>28

Now, move 20 to the right, using the opposite operation:

\rm{-x>28-20

Subtract:

\rm{-x>8

Divide both sides by -1 to isolate x:

_____________

<em>Additional comment</em>

When we divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, we flip the inequality sign.

____________

I hope you find it helpful.

You are studying for your final exam of the semester. up to this point, you received 3 exam scores of 67%, 68%, and 78℅. to rece
scoray [572]
(67 + 68 + 78 + x) / 4 = 70
(213 + x) / 4 = 70
213 + x = 70 * 4
213 + x = 280
x = 280 - 213
x = 67

(213 + x) / 4 = 79
213 + x = 79 * 4
213 + x = 316
x = 316 - 213
x = 103

lowest u can make is 67, highest u can make is 100

I need help with three and four
mart [117]

Answer:

3: a^{2}+2ab+b^{2}

4: 8x^{3} -12x^{2}+6x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 3 can be re-written as:

(a+b)(a+b)

which equals:

a^{2}+2ab+b^{2}

Question 4 can be re-written as:

(2x-1)(2x-1)(2x-1)

Doing the first 2 brackets gives us:

(4x^{2} -4x+1)(2x-1)

Expanding these two:

8x^{3} -4x^{2} -8x^{2} +4x+2x-1

Simplifying it:

8x^{3} -12x^{2}+6x-1
