Answer:

z = -10

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

-4 - (z - 6) = 12

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>z</u></em>

  1. Distribute negative:                              -4 - z + 6 = 12
  2. Combine like terms:                             -z + 2 = 12
  3. Subtract 2 on both sides:                    -z = 10
  4. Divide -1 on both sides:                        z = -10

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in z to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute:                    -4 - (-10 - 6) = 12
  2. Subtract:                       -4 - (-16) = 12
  3. Simplify:                        -4 + 16 = 12
  4. Add:                               12 = 12

Here we see that 12 does indeed equal 12.

∴ z = -10 is a solution of the equation.

while observing the fare meter in a taxi, a student records the following data: reading on taxi fare meter time (minutes) meter
mario62 [17]
(0,5.25)(10,13.75)
slope(m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
slope(m) = (13.75 - 5.25) / (10 - 0) = 8.5/10 = 0.85

y = mx + b
(0,5.25)...x = 0 and y = 5.25
slope(m) = 0.85
now we sub, we r looking for b, the y int
5.25 = 0.85(0) + b
5.25 = b

so ur equation is : y = 0.85x + 5.25 or C(t) = 0.85t + 5.25 <==

cost of a 12 min taxi ride.....sub in 12 for t
C(t) = 0.85t + 5.25
C(12) = 0.85(12) +5.25
C(12) = 10.20 + 5.25 = 15.45 
so a 12 min ride would cost u : $ 15.45 <==
