Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Nelson grows tomatoes and sells them at a nearby farmers roadside stand.
Let x = number of tomatoes sold
Let m = amount of money made for selling x tomatoes.
He sells them for $2.50 each. This means that he sells x tomatoes for 2.5×x = $2.5x
The farmer charges him $15 a day to use the stand. This means that he pays a constant amount of $15 each day.
Amount of money that Nelson will make will be total amount made in selling x tomatoes minus the constant amount being paid for rent. It becomes
m = 2.5x - 15 This is the general form. In the factored form, it will be
m = 2.5(x+6)
