Beth has $400 in the bank. She paid a start-up fee of $45 plus $3 every time she rides the bus. Write and solve an equation to determine how many times she can ride the bus.

The equation is: y=(x-45)/3 and Beth can ride the bus 118 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information provided, the total cost of riding the bus is equal to the start-up fee plus the cost of each ride for the number of times Beth rides the bus:

x=45+3y, where x is the total cost of riding the bus and y is the number of times Beth rides the bus.

Now, you can solve for y and you can replace x with 400 that is the total amount Beth has:

x=45+3y

y=(x-45)/3

y=(400-45)/3

y=355/3

y=118

According to this, the answer is that the equation is: y=(x-45)/3 and Beth can ride the bus 118 times.

step-by-step explanation:

6 (donuts) divided by 3 is 2.

so 2/3 means 2 times 2, which is 4/6.

you get two and your friend gets four.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
