The oldster got a discount, so the original price is higher; let's call it x;
Answer: $14.00
Do elimination
2x + y = 3
x - y = 3
Add these
3x = 6
X = 2
Plug in 2 for x
4(2) + 2y = 6
8 + 2y = 6
2y = -2
X = 2, y = -1
Answer:
x = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
ur welcome
I came up with 7+5(x-1)
7 is a fixed one time cost.
5(x-1). x-1 because you have already charged $7 for the first hour.
Checking to make sure it is correct
so if a person stays 1 hour
7+5(1-1)
7+5(0) = 7
This answer makes sense because they get charged $7 the first hour
so say they stay 3 hours
7+5(3-1)
7+5(2) = 17
This answer makes sense because they get charges $7 for the first hour and $5 for the other 2. so 7+5+5=17.
we can see that the function works
