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 equation representing the above information

Explanation

The scooter charges Rs. '15' for first kilometer and Rs. '8' each for every subsequent kilometer.
Distance traveled ='x' km
So, Rs. '15' is paid for first kilometer. And Rs. '8' each for every subsequent kilometer for the rest `'x−1'` km
Total amount paid =`15+8(x−1)`

`y=15+8x−8`
`y=8x+7`
