All together max and jason travel a total of 22 miles
$20 bought 16 songs
Therefore each song costs $20/16 = $5/4 = $1.25
So:
2 songs would cost 2 * $1.25
3 songs would cost 3 * $1.25
...
x songs would cost x * $1.25
Since Renata started with $20, then her balance (y) after buying x songs would be:
y = 20 - 1.25*x
The elevator will be on the 76th floor in 60 seconds.
Answer:
x = 2.25, y = 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x + 2y = -2 .............equ (1)
2x + 3y = 12 .............equ (2)
equ (1) + equ (2)
-2x + 2y = -2
+ 2x + 2y = 12
=> 0 + 4y = 10
=> 4y/4 = 10/4
=> y = 2½
Substitute for y in equ (2)
i. e, 2x + 3y = 12
=> 2x + 3(10/4) =12
=> 2x + 30/4 = 12
=> 2x = 12 - 30/4
=> 2x = (48 - 30)/4
=> 2x = 18/4
=> 8x = 18
=> x = 18/8
=> x = 2^2/8 or 2.25
x = 2.25, y = 2.5
