Question

Annie paid $12 to enter the state fair. she then paid $2 per ride. this equation represents the amount she spent: y = 2x 12. use the equation to predict how much she spent if she rode eight rides.

Answer 1

So given that Annie paid $12 first to enter the state fair as entrance fee, then per ride costs $2 each, the equation would be y = 2x + 12. Given that she rode eight rides, that would mean y = 2(8) + 12, so the answer would be y = $28. So the amount she spent in total is $28. Hope this answers your question.
