8. An employee has two public transportation options for commuting to and from work in a given month. Option A is to ride the bus each way and pay $3.00 per ride. Option B is to pay
$88.00 for a monthly commuter train pass and then pay an additional $1.00 for a bus transfer
per ride. These equations represent the employee's transportation options where x represents
the number of bus rides.

step-by-step explanation:

it's is b

step-by-step explanation:

  or  

sin y = 7/q

7 is the opposite side length, q is the hypotenuse

tan y = 7/r

7 is the opposite side length, r is the adjacent side length

using sohcahtoa ^^^^

cos y = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos y = r/q

secant-secant formula:

(whole secant) x (external part) =           (whole secant) x (external part)

(8+y-2) *8=                                           (y+4+6) *6

(y+6)*8 = (y+10) *6

distribute

8y+48 = 6y +60

subtract 6y from each side

2y +48 = 60

subtract 48 from each side

2y = 12

divide by 2

y = 6

sv =     (y+4+6)

sv   = 6+4+6

sv = 16
