Question

A three wheeler taxi charges 15rupees for first kilometre and 8rupees each for every subsequent kilometre . For a distance of Xkm and amount of Yrupees is paid . Form a linear equation to represent the above equation.​

Answer 1

Total distance covered = x km

Fare for 1st kilometre = Rs 8

Fare for the rest of the distance = Rs (x − 1) 5

Total fare = Rs [8 + (x − 1) 5]

y = 8 + 5x − 5

y = 5x + 3

5x − y + 3 = 0

Here is the complete explanation to the mentioned question.

 

Fare for the first km = Rs 8

Total distance covered = x km

 

After travelling first km, remaining distance = (x – 1) km

Rate of fare = Rs 5 per km

Fare for (x – 1) km = 5 × (x –1)

Total fare = Rs y

Fare for the first km + fare for the remaining distance = y

8 + (x – 1) 5 = y

8 + 5x – 5 = y

5x – y + 3 = 0
