Ok, So I thought these were pretty easy until everything I tried didn't work.

(1)The monthly cost of driving a car depends on the number of miles driven. Lynn found that in May it cost her $380 to drive 480 mi and in June it cost her $460 to drive 800 mi.

(a) Express the monthly cost C as a function of the distance driven d, assuming that a linear relationship gives a suitable model.

C(d) =

I thought it would be 4x-1040, as I used that to solve the next question in the series. buttt it wasn't.

Other TOTALLY unrelated question:

(2)Jason leaves Detroit at 2:00 P.M. and drives a a constant speed west along I-90. He passes Ann Arbor, 40 mi from Detroit, at 2:50 P.M.

(a) Express the distance d traveled (in miles) in terms of the time t elapsed (in hours).

d(t) =

things I've tried that are incorrect: 4/5t, 48 (mph), d/t, 40/.8333

Thanks.

  1. (1) cost = 138 dollars x 1/190 mile

    cost per mile is 72.6 cents per mile = 73 cents (money rounds)

    (2) distance = 40 miles x 5/6 hour

    distance is 100/3 miles = 33.33333333333333333
