Solve the problem.In a certain city, the cost of a taxi ride is computed as follows: There is a fixed charge of $2.50 as soon as you get in the taxi, to which a charge of $1.95 per mile is added. Find an equation that can be used to determine the cost, C(x), of an x-mile taxi ride.

A. C(x) = 2.50 + 1.95x
B. C(x) = 4.45x
C. C(x) = 2.95x
D. C(x) = 1.95 + 2.50x

Solve.The first side of a triangle is 10 feet longer than the second. The third side is 12 feet less than double the second. The perimeter of the triangle is 90 feet. Let s represent the length of the second side and define the variable expressions in terms of s for each of the three sides.

A. length of first side = s - 10 length of second side = s  length of third side = 2s - 12 B. length of first side = s + 10 length of second side = s  length of third side = 12 - 2s C. length of first side = s - 10 length of second side = s  length of third side = 2(s - 12) D. length of first side = s + 10 length of second side = s  length of third side = 2s - 12
