Answer:
It costs $15 a month to play the video game.
The initial cost is $45.
The y-variable represents the cost in dollars.
The x-variable represents the number of months.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you break the function down, you're going to have:
<u>Total = Monthly Cost + Initial Cost</u>
In this case, 15x is your monthly cost, as you can think of x as the number of months meaning:
- 15 for the first month (x = 1)
- 30 for the second month (x = 2)
- 45 for the third month (x = 3), and so on
Our initial cost is always going to be a set amount, thus our constant, $45.
This leaves y as our total, which makes sense, as it's all alone on one side of the equation, where as all the costs are bunched together on the right side.

The algebraic equation used to answer this question is:
3d + 4(1/2d) = 56.5
This is because he ran d, the distance, three times that week. For the rest of the four days, he ran 1/2 the distance, or half d.
To find the answer, you first distribute:
3d + 2d = 56.5
Add like terms:
5d = 56.5
Divide both side by 5:
5d/5 = 56.5/5
d = 11.3
On the first three days, Luke jogged 11.3 miles. On the remaining days, where he jogged 1/2d, Luke jogged 5.65 miles.

The table in Part A represents y as a function of x. This means that the value of Y is dependent on the value of X. The table can be represented by an equation that describes the relation of X and Y:
or
By substituting any value of X, you get a specific value of Y based from the given relationship, thus Y is a function of X.
For Part B, the value of f(150) is $470 and it represents the total cost for borrowing a rowboat for 150 hours. By substituting the value of x = 150 into the function, you get the total cost:
The quotient to this problem is 401.45
Just divide 8,029 by 20 to find the quotient.
The standard for of this equation is x – y = 0
Firstly, options A and D are not in standard form, so they are not options.
To decided between B and C, we choose a point on the line and see if it works. For example, we'll use (2, 2).
x – y = 0
2 - 2 = 0
0 = 0
This is true for option C. Therefore, it is correct.
