Answer» Step-by-step explanation: As we know for first kilometer the price it Rs 8. ....(i) As the TOTAL distance is x hence the distance TRAVELED after the first kilometer is x-1. Fare per km after the first kilometer is 5. So fare of x-1 km = 5*(x-1) ....(II) We know total fare is Y. hence Adding eq (i) and (ii) we get Y=5(X-1)+8. or Y=5X+3. |
