Question

CAN SOMEONE WRITE ME A REAL WORLD PROBLEM SOLVED BY A LINEAR EQUATION PLEASE

Answer 1

Taxi Fare

Explanation:

If you wanted to get a taxi, you could get a fixed charge (say £10) + a distance charge (£2 per 5 miles). If you go 5 more miles, the charge will increase by £2, which will come out as a straight line on a graph.

This makes sure that a person is not overcharged for taking a taxi

Answer 2

A real-world problem that can be solved by a linear equation is calculating the total cost of renting a car.The cost of renting a car typically includes a fixed daily rate plus a mileage charge per mile driven.


For example,if the daily rate for renting a car is $25 and the mileage charge is $0.20 per mile driven, we can use the following linear equation to calculate the total cost (C) based on the numbers of miles driven (M):


C = 25 + 0.20m

Using this equation, if you drive 100 mines in one day your total cost would be:


C= 25 + 0.20(100)

C=25 + 20

C= $45

This formula allows individuals or businesses to estimate their rental costs before they rent a vehicle and helps them budget accordingly
