Question

For the first kilometre, the fare is$5 and for successive distance it is 2 per km.
Taking distance covered as x and total fare as 3y. Write a linear equation
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total fare = 5$ + 2$ * distance covered

Answer 2

Answer:

2x - 3y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Fare for 1st km = $5

Fare for successive distance = $2/km

Total distance = x

Total fare = 3y

Required linear equation...

5 + 2(x -5) = 3y

5 + 2x - 10 = 3y

2x - 5 = 3y

or, 2x - 3y = 5
