The initial fee for a gym membership is $10 and for each month of the membership it costs $5. Jem has been going to the gym for 8 months, what is the total cost?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Best advice: make a sketch (which I can't do here).
When you reflect in the x axis, only the y value changes...so (3, -4) reflects to (3,4).
Translating down (i.e. in the negative direction) again means the x value (the abscissa) doesn't change, only the y value (the ordinate)...so the final value of the point is (3,1).
Set up ratio problem
.2 oz butter / (1/15) lb jelly = x / 1 lb jelly
Then cross multiply the stuff opposite each other in the fractions... set it up as a multiplication problem
.2 × 1 = (1/15) × x
.2 = (1/15)x
Multiply both sides of equation by 15 to clear out the (1/15) fraction and get x
x = 3
