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)

Point Y is the midpoint of segment XZ. If XY = 2(3x +1) and YZ = 5x + 22, find the value of x.
Ede4ka [16]
<h3>Point Y is the midpoint of segment XZ. Then value of x is 20</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

<em><u>Point Y is the midpoint of segment XZ</u></em>

XY = 2(3x +1)

YZ = 5x + 22

To find: Value of x

Since, Point Y is the midpoint of segment XZ,

Therefore,

XY = YZ

2(3x + 1) = 5x + 22

6x + 2 = 5x + 22

6x - 5x = 22 - 2

<h3>x = 20</h3>

Thus, value of x is 20
