A taxi driver had 43 fares to and from the airport last Monday. The price for a ride to the airport is $12, and the price for a ride from the airport is $10. The driver collected a total of $480 for the day. Let x represent the number of trips to the airport and y represent the number of trips from the airport. Write the ordered pair (x, y) that represents the solution in this situation.

(25,18) is the required solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Let x be the number of trips to the airport and y represent the number of trips from the airport.

Total number of fares  to and from the airport = 43

Thus, we can write the equation:

Price for a ride to the airport = $12

Price for a ride from the airport = $10

Total amount collected by the driver = $480

Thus, we can write the equation:

Solving the two equations, we get,

Thus, the driver made 25 trips to the airport and 18 trips from the airport.

The solution can be represented as (25,18)

600,000,000,000, or 6e14
