A horse and carriage ride is available in the park. A 3-mile ride costs $10.24 per person and a 5-mile ride costs $18.58 per person. How much will a 4-mile ride cost per person?

$14.41

Step-by-step explanation:

3 mile: 10.24

5 mile: 18.58

2 additional miles:

18.58 - 10.24

8.34

1 additional mile: 8.34 ÷ 2

= 4.17

Cost of 4 mile:

3 miles + 1 additional

10.24 + 4.17 = 14.41

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
