Answer:
y = 2x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
So, the cab company charges a flat fee of $4 per cab ride, meaning 4 has no variables in the equation. Now, x is the distance, and the cab company charges $2 per mile driven. Per mile driven is a distance unit, so the x goes with the 2. From that, you can get that the cost is equal to 4 dollars plus 2x (2 times the distance in miles). This is y = 2x+4.
Answer:
Depends on the value of q.
Step-by-step explanation:
3(59+9) + 5q = 3(68) + 5q = 204 + 5q
4(59+6) = 260
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve for x, we must isolate x on one side of the equation.
x+3x+5=21
First, combine like terms. x and 3x are both terms with variables, and can be combined.
(x+3x) + 5=21
4x + 5=21
5 is being added to 4x. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation.
4x+5-5= 21-5
4x= 16
x is being multiplied by 4. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 4.
4x/4=16/4
x= 16/4
x=4
Let's check our solution. Plug 4 in for x and solve.
x+3x+5=21
4+3(4)+5=21
4+12+5=21
16+5=21
21=21
This solution checks out, so we know our answer is correct.
x is equal to 4, x=4.
