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)

Answer:

0.15-0.75p? YES

-0.45-0.6+0.75P? NO

-3(-0.05+0.25p)? YES

-3(0.15)+(-3)(0.2)+(-3)(0.25p)? NO

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(0.15-0.2+0.25p)

=-0.45+0.6-0.75p

=0.15-0.75p

1. 0.15-0.75p=0.15-0.75p? YES

2. -0.45-0.6+0.75P=0.15-0.75p?

-1.05+0.75p=0.15-0.75p? NO

3. -3(-0.05+0.25p)=0.15-0.75p?

0.15-0.75=0.15-0.75p? YES

4. -3(0.15)+(-3)(0.2)+(-3)(0.25p)=0.15-0.75p?

-0.45-0.6-0.75p=0.15-0.75p?

-1.05-0.75p=0.15-0.75p? NO
