Question

a three wheeled scooter charges rs 15 for first kilometer and rs 8 each for every subsequent kilometer . for a distance of x km an amount of rs y is paid . write the linear equation representing the above information

Answer 1

hey dear,

good afternoon friend.

--------->>>>>>>>>>>------------

given,

distance covered by scooter = x km.

and,total amount paid = Rs.y

Now,

A/Q,

charge for 1st km = Rs.15

and, charge for remaining distance = Rs.8 per km.

Thus,remaining distance = (x-1) km.

so,total charge for remaining distance = Rs.8(x - 1)

so,total charges including 1st km = Rs.15 + 8(x - 1) = Rs.(x + 7).

=>y = x + 7

=>x - y + 7 = 0. Ans.
