You must multiply 2.5 by 7 to get the answer which is 17.5 pounds
Answer:
D.
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 10...............
A)
The question tells us that
y + z = 180
And
y=3x+20
z=x
So we put them in the first formula:
y + z = 180
(3x + 20) + x = 180
Add and get x to one side:
4x + 20 = 180
4x + 20 - 20 = 180-20
4x = 160
Divide both sides by 4
x = 40
B)
Put x back in to equation to get size of each angle:
Y =3x +20
Y=3(40)+20
Y=120+20
Y=140
Z=x
Z=40
Verify: y+z=180
140+40=180
180=180
16.2 miles.
Since she paid a $5 tip, the cost for her fare was $23.50. Let x be the number of 0.2-mile increments in the trip:
23.50 = 2.50 + 1 + 0.25(x-1)
This equation comes from the 2.50 home pick-up fee; $1 for the first 0.2-mile increment; and 0.25 for each other 0.2-mile increment.
Using the distributive property, we have:
23.50 = 2.50 + 1 + 0.25*x - 0.25*1
23.50 = 2.50 + 1 + 0.25x - 0.25
Combining like terms,
23.50 = 0.25x + 2.75
Subtracting 2.75 from both sides, we have:
23.50 - 2.75 = 0.25x + 2.75 - 2.75
20.25 = 0.25x
Dividing both sides by 0.25, we have:
20.25/0.25 = 0.25x/0.25
81 = x
This means there are 81 0.2-mile increments in her trip. 81(0.2) = 16.2 miles
