Please help Matthew took a cab home from his office. The cab charged a flat fee of $4, plus $2 per mile. Matthew paid $34 for the trip Write an equation to show the number of miles Matthew drove

(34-4)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would subtract the flat fee of 4 dollars from the total ($34) which would give you 30 then you divide 30 by the rate or dollars per mile (2) which would leave you with 15 so he drove 15 miles and if you were to writ this as an equation (as shown above) it would look like this (34-4)/2 where you first subtract (hence the parentheses) then you would divide (hence the / ). I hope you found this helpful :D  

look a the sides they are perpendicular

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
