1. So I assume it's adding 1.5 + 1.75 • n, right? For the first taxi can service? Then, the NEXT one charges 1.9 + 1.6 • n, correct? So far, all I have is that. I don't know what to multiply it by, because it says "between 1 and 10 miles." Would it be n = 5?
2. I think these are the answers, but I'm not sure, so I need some help:
a) p • n (or 35 • 105)
b) 65 • 2 + b + 75
Am I supposed to put the answer, too? It says "expression" so....
3. This one just has me completely lost. Do I divide or subtract or...? I have not the slightest idea what the answers are, how to set up the expression, how to make the table, etc. This is why I need help urgently, PLEASE. I'll try, though...
2,250 - 150 ÷ m
2,250 - 150 ÷ 6 =
2400 ÷ 6 = 400
2,250 - 150 ÷ 8
2400 ÷ 8 = 300
2,250 - 150 ÷ 10
2400 ÷ 10 = 240
Is this correct, or is it 2,250 ÷ 150 - m? I'm so lost. :/
1. The cost in dollars of an "n" mile trip with the Supreme Taxi Service is given by 1.5 + 1.75n. The cost of an "n" mile trip using Town Taxi Service is given by 1.9 + 1.6n. For rides between 1 and 10 miles, which service would you choose? Explain.

3. A hot air balloon is at a height of 2,250 feet. It descends 150 feet each minute. Find it's height after six, eight, and ten minutes. Make a table to show the pattern of heights. Write an expression for the balloon's height at "m" minutes.

1. Use n = 10 and n = 1 for both taxi services and compare.
2a. 35p + 105n
b. 2*65 + 37b + 75
3. Not dividing.
2250 - 150m = ?
Substitute minute values and solve.
