8. To calculate 159 - 73, a student writes the follow- ing equations:
160 - 70 = 90 - 3 = 87 - 1 = 86
Although the student has a good idea for solving the problem, their equations are not correct. In words, describe the student's solution strategy and discuss why the strategy makes sense; then write a correct sequence of equations that correspond to
this solution strategy.
Write your equations in the following form:
159 - 73 = some expression
= some expression
=….
= 86

let y equal to

the total fare and x is the mile of taxi ride. so the equation is

y = 0.55x + 1.75

since susie has

$10 to spend for a taxi cab, so he can have

10 = 0.55x +

1.75

x = 15 miles of

taxi ride

so the system of

inequality is

10 < 0.55x +

1.75

x > 2

this is the formula: v = the value of investment at the end of the time period

p = the principal amount (the initial amount invested)

r = the annual interest rate

n = the annual frequency of compounding (how many times a year interest is added)

t = the number of years the money is invested

^ means raise to the power of

the solution is x=1

step-by-step explanation:

we are given our   equation as

let's assume

left side function is

right side function is

now, we can draw graph

and then we can get intersection point

the intersection point will be solution

so, the solution is

x=1

2 1/2 feet
