It takes mr. martin 12 minutes to drive his bus route without stopping to pick up any passengers. for each passenger stop, he estimates that 30 seconds is added to his travel time. on tuesday, mr. martin spends 14 minutes driving his route. which equation can be used to determine the number of passenger stops, p, mr. martin had on tuesday?

It is given that Mr Martin takes 12 minutes to drive his bus route without stopping on any of the stops.

On Tuesday, it took him 14 minutes when he stooped to take the passengers. He estimated that it takes 30 sec for each stop.

60 second = 1 minute.

30 second = 0.5 minutes.

Let us assume, there were x stops.

Since it takes him 12 minutes without stopping, 12 minutes here acts as a fixed time.

Total time is given by the equation

.... (1)

where t is the total time and x is the number of passengers.

To find the number of passengers, solve equation (1) for x ,

.... (2)

Plug y= 14 into equation number  (2) gives 4 stops.

∠lno ≅ ∠lnm

∠oln ≅ ∠mln

step-by-step explanation:

given   that triangle lno is congruent to triangle lnm.

we have to fill up the blanks in the given question.

according to above order of congruency   kept in mind we can say that

∠lno ≅ ∠lnm

∠oln ≅ ∠mln

ln ≅ ln due to common in both.

hence, by sas congruency,

the side angle side rule   states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to another triangle, then these two triangles are congruent.
