Ataxi ride cost $1.25 plus $0.75 per mile. if the total cost of the trip is $12.50, how many miles did the passenger travel?

subtract the constant ( 1.25) from total cost

12.50 -1.25 = 11.25

 divide that by cost per mile to find total miles

11.25 / 0.75 = 15

 15 miles

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
