Answer:

20 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = amount charge each mile

y = total price paid

Since the Uber charged $1.10 for each mile, we multiply x by 1.1 like this 1.1x

Also, $2 were already charged so we add 2 to the total price

y = 1.1x + 2

Since the Lyft charged $0.95 for each mile, we multiply x by 0.95 like this 0.95x

Also, $5 were arleady charged so we add 5 to the total price

y = 0.95x + 5

We have to find a price where both rides match

1.1x + 2 = 0.95x + 5

Let's move the like terms to one side by subtracting 0.95x from both sides

1.1x + 2 = 0.95x + 5

-0.95x   -0.95x

0.15x + 2 = 5

Now, subtract 2 from both sides

0.15x + 2 = 5

         - 2  - 2

0.15x = 3

Finally, divide both sides by the coefficient, 0.15, to isolate the variable, x

0.15x/0.15 = 3/0.15

x = 20

This means they traveled 20 miles if they were to pay the same price

Please assist me with these problems​

Answer:

1) $350

2) 55°

3) $300

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The total cost is the cost of the appointment plus the cost of the repair work.  The appointment costs $50.  The repair work costs $120 per 2 hours.  So the total cost is:

C = 50 + (120/2) t

C = 50 + 60t

For 5 hours of work, the cost is:

C = 50 + 60(5)

C = 350

It costs $350.

2) The temperature starts at 70°.  It drops 10° in 4 hours.  So the temperature after t hours is:

T = 70 + (-10/4) t

T = 70 − 2.5t

After 6 hours:

T = 70 − 2.5(6)

T = 55

The temperature is 55°.

3) Jennie's total pay is her weekly pay plus her commissions.  If her commission is x% of her sales, then her pay is:

P = 250 + (x/100) S

When her sales is $1000, her pay is $275.

275 = 250 + (x/100) 1000

275 = 250 + 10x

25 = 10x

x = 2.5

So her pay is:

P = 250 + (2.5/100) S

When S = $2000:

P = 250 + (2.5/100) 2000

P = 250 + 50

P = 300

Her total pay is $300.

If you have 49 questions on a test what score must you get to pass the test?​
arsen [322]

Well, on every test I have at a school and I believe most schools do this. You need at leasr 80% to pass. But to pass you'd most likely need 80% or 70%. But if you get an 80% you'll be sure to pass! I hope this helps you!
