Question
A three-wheeler scooter charges Rs 15 for first kilometer and Rs 8 each for every subsequent
kilometer. For a distance of x km, an amount of Rs y is paid. Write the linear equation
representing the above information.
Solution
Total fare of Rs y for covering distance of x kilometers is given by
` y = 15 + 8 (x - 1)`
⇒ `y = 15 + 8x - 8`
⇒ `y = 8x + 7 `
This is the required linear equation for the given information
