A taxi driver had 27 fares to and from the airport last Monday. The price for a ride to the airport is $14, and the price for a

ride from the airport is $7. The driver collected a total of $294 for the day. Let x represent the number of trips to the airport and y represent the number of trips from the airport. Write the ordered pair (x,y) that represents the solution in this situation.

Answer:

(15, 12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's generate two systems of equations that fit this scenario.

Number of trips to the airport = x

Number of trips from the airport = y

Total number of trips to and from the airport = 27

Thus:

x + y = 27 => equation 1.

Total price for trips to the Airport = 14*x = 14x

Total price of trips from the airport = 7*y = 7y

Total collected for the day = $294

Thus:

14x + 7y = 294 => equation 2.

Multiply equation 1 by 7, and multiply equation 2 by 1 to make both equations equivalent.

7 × x + y = 27

1 × 14x + 7y = 294

Thus:

7x + 7y = 189 => equation 3

14x + 7y = 294 => equation 4

Subtract equation 4 from equation 3

-7x = -105

Divide both sides by -7

x = 15

Substitute x = 15 in equation 1

x + y = 27

15 + y = 27

Subtract both sides by 15

y = 27 - 15

y = 12

The ordered pair would be (15, 12)

will the opposite of a number always,sometimes,or never be greater than the number itself??????? can someone do an example and a
weeeeeb [17]

When the number is positive, its opposite is less than the number.

9 ==> -9 . . . . . . less
72 ==> -72 . . . . less
324 ==> -324 . . less


When the number is negative, its opposite is greater than the number.

-8 ==> 8 . . . . . . greater
-3/4 ==> 3/4 . . . greater
-429 ==> 429 . . greater .

We've seen that the opposite can be less, and it can also be greater.
I guess that means that it's sometimes greater.

Carly lives in Scottsdale, AZ and plans to go visit downtown Glendale, AZ. The map with a scale of 2 cm for every 4 km shows the
AleksandrR [38]
Comparing map distance to real distance we get 2cm/4km. That means 1cm = 2km.

So the map distance is half the real distance (well, technically not as one is in cm and the other in km but it’s enough to think this way) and a real distance of 10km must mean a map distance of half that (again ignoring the units) so we get 5cm.
