Question

The taxi fare for the first 2 kms is Rs. 20 per kilometre. For the consequent kilometres, the fair is Rs. 12 per kilometre. Take total distance travelled as x kilometres and total fair is Rs. y , make the linear equation in 2 variables.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total fare = y

Total distance covered = x

Fair for the subsequent distance after 1st kilometre = Rs 5

Fair for 1st kilometre = Rs 8

A/q

y = 8 + 5(x-1)

⇒ y = 8 + 5x - 5

⇒ y = 5x + 3
