The formula for triangle area is b•h/ 1/2. so you would do 12•5=60. then divide that by 2 to get 30
So since this is a linear equation, which is y=mx+b, you use what it tells you in the word problem. so mx is the rate, since in this equation 200 per ton of sugar that's your mx, so its 200x. then for your b value, which in this case is the cost of truck rental, so its 5,400.
your equation is C=200s+5400
the variables are the same so you can use Y and X, but I used the variables used in the word problem.
Y=200x+5400
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start by declaring our varibles.
x = number of lawns Mr. Brust mowed
y = total amount of money Mr. Brust made
Let's create our equation.
y = 15x + 55
For part b, we can plug 800 in for y.
800 = 15x + 55
Subtract 55 from both sides.
745 = 15x
Divide both sides by 15
50 = x. Note, I rounded the answer to the nearest integer.
For part c, we can plug 13 in for x.
y = 15(13) + 55
Simplify the right side of the equation.
y = 250
