A would be the correct answer! because x represents the number of miles (charged at .8) and 5.40 is a flat rate
9514 1404 393
Answer:
UW = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Midsegment XY is half the length of base UW, so we can write ...
UW = 2·XY
73 -7x = 2(54 -6x) . . . . substitute the given expressions
73 -7x = 108 -12x . . . . . eliminate parentheses
5x = 35 . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 12x-73
x = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5
Now, we can find UW:
UW = 73 -7x = 73 -7·7
UW = 24
Since he drives 60 miles per hour we'll divide 272 by 60
272/60=4.5
it will take 4.5 hours
I hope I've helped!
