The linear equation represents y = mx + b describes several real world situations such as
- Relation between printer and ink cartridges,
- Relationship between number of songs and how much is left on the card.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
Linear equations y = mx + b.
m is your rate of change.
b is your constant. This is the initial value of y. The value of y when x is 0.
Finally, y is the thing that depends on x.
Oh right, examples:
- I buy a printer for $100 and the ink cartridges cost $25 each. The relationship between ink cartridges and total cost.
total cost = 25(cartridges I buy) + 100 or y = 25x + 100
-
I get a $100 iTunes gift card for my birthday and then start buying $1 songs. The relationship between the number of songs I buy and how much is left on the card
amount left on card = -$1(songs bought) + 100 or y = -x +100
You have to divide 48 by 4. How many times does 4 go into 48.....................12 times.
Answer: it would cost a total of $194
Step-by-step explanation:
A ticket to a movie theatre for a student is $7. The cost for an adult is $2 more than for a student.
If student ticket costs $x, adult ticket would cost x + 2
This means that the cost for an adult is
7 + 2 = $9
The cost of 13 adult tickets to the movie theatre would be
13 × 9 = $117.
The cost of 11 student tickets to the movie theatre would be
11 × 7 = $77
Total cost of 13 adult tickets and 11 student tickets would be
117 + 77 = $194
