Question

5$ is the cost and the cost per ride is 50 cent , if your parents give you 20$ . Write and solve a linear equation to find how many rides you can go on

Answer 1

ANSWER= 30 rides

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION

y=mx+b

m= $0.5 (per ride)

b= $5 (the cost)

x(rides)  and y(parents money)

y= 0.5 x + 5

20= 0.5 x +5

20 - 5 = 0.5 x

15=0.5x

x= $\frac{15}{0.5}$

x=30 rides
