Question -

A three-wheeler scooter charges ₹15 for first kilometer and ₹8 each for every subsequent kilometer. For a distance of x km, an amount of ₹y is paid. Write the linear equation representing the above information.



Answer -

Charges for the first kilometer = ₹15
Charges for next 1 km = ₹8
Distance = x km
and total amount = ₹y
∴ Linear equation will be,
15 + (x- 1) x 8 =y
⇒  15 + 8x – 8 = y
⇒   7 + 8x = y
∴  y = 8x + 7
