Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
$ 4 per ride and 0.75 per mile
y = 0.75x + 4.....with x being # of miles and y being total cost
if a person only had $ 20....so sub in 20 for y and solve for x
20 = 0.75x + 4
20 - 4 = 0.75x
16 = 0.75x
16 / 0.75 = x
x = 21.33 (or 21 1/3) miles <=====
Answer:
(x-y)(x-y-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
1.(x - y)² - x + y = (x - y)² - (x - y )
2.(x-y) [( x-y) - ( 1 ) ]
3.(x-y)(x-y-1)
Answer:
0.0028
Step-by-step explanation:
move the decimal point to the left (if the exponent of ten is a negative number), or to the right (if the exponent is positive)
Let x = no. of 10 oz cups sold
Let y = no. of 14 oz cups sold
Let z = no. of 20 oz cups sold
:
Equation 1: total number of cups sold:
x + y + z = 24
:
Equation 2: amt of coffee consumed:
10x + 14y + 20z = 384
:
Equation 3: total revenue from cups sold
.95x + 1.15y + 1.50z = 30.60
:
Mult the 1st equation by 20 and subtract the 2nd equation from it:
20x + 20y + 20z = 480
10x + 14y + 20z = 384
------------------------ subtracting eliminates z
10x + 6y = 96; (eq 4)
Mult the 1st equation by 1.5 and subtract the 3rd equation from it:
1.5x + 1.5y + 1.5z = 36.00
.95x + 1.15y+ 1.5z = 30.60
---------------------------subtracting eliminates z again
.55x + .35y = 5.40; (eq 5)
Multiply eq 4 by .055 and subtract from eq 5:
.55x + .35y = 5.40
.55x + .33y = 5.28
--------------------eliminates x
0x + .02y = .12
y = .12/.02
y = 6 ea 14 oz cups sold
Substitute 6 for y for in eq 4
10x + 6(6) = 96
10x = 96 - 36
x = 60/10
x = 6 ea 10 oz cups
That would leave 12 ea 20 oz cups (24 - 6 - 6 = 12)
Check our solutions in eq 2:
10(6) + 14(6) + 20(12) =
60 + 84 + 240 = 384 oz
A lot steps, hope it made some sense! I hope this helps!! ;D
