the toll t , in dollars , for a truck using a certain bridge is given by the formula t = 0.50 + 0.50 ( x − 2 ) , where x is the number of axles on the truck . what is the toll for an 18 - wheel truck that has 2 wheels on its front axle and 4 wheels on each of its other axles ?
"number of wheels in truck = 18 number of wheels on its front axle = 2 number of wheels remaining = 16 number of axles remaining axles = 16 / 4 = 4 total number of axles = 5 t = 0.50 + 0.50 ( x − 2 ) = 0.50 + . 5 * 3 = 0.5 + 1.5 = 2 $ answer a"
add(0.50, multiply(0.50, subtract(add(divide(subtract(18, 2), 4), const_1), 2)))
