Alex and his father took a taxi cab that charges $2.60 per mile plus $1.50 for each passenger, and they paid a total of $18.60. alex wrote the equation 18.60=2.60b+3 for this situation and found b=6. which statement is true about the solution b=6?

The solution b=6 tells us that Alex and his father traveled 6 miles on the taxi

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

18.60=2.60b+3

Here 18.60 is the total amount paid, 2.60 is the rate per mile and 3 is the charges for two passengers.

The solution b=6 tells us that Alex and his father traveled 6 miles on the taxi i.e. b represents miles ..

answer: (-8,4) are the coordinates of a

step-by-step explanation:

let the side of square abcd is x .

thus the area of square abcd is .

now, by the diagram area of triangle ead= 1/2 × ea × ad = 1/2 × ea × x

( because ad is the side of square)

and, according to the question,

the areas of square abcd and right ead are equal.

⇒

⇒ea=2x

thus, ea: ab=2: 1

therefore, point a divides line segment eb into the ratio 2: 1.

⇒ by sectional formula coordinates of a are,

=

=

=(-8, 4)

thus the coordinates of a are (-8,4)
