Question

the taxi fare in a city is;
for the first km=rs 50
and for subsequent distance=rs20
taking the total distance covered as 2 km and the total fare as rs y.
write a linear equation

Answer 1

Suppose rs is a currency name, the equation is \(50 + 20x = y\) where the subsequent distance is x km. Plug in the subsequent value of 1km (first km is already charged) into the equation and find the answer.

Answer 2

Alternatively, it just be
y = 50 + 20(x - 1)
That way, entering 1km also results in the actual fare.

Answer 3

but the distance is given = 2km

Answer 4

Yeah, so input 2km
y = 50 + 20(2 - 1)
y = 50 + 20(1)
y = 70

And that's the fare for 2 km

Answer 5

yup...that i m getting too. same asnwer
