If $26 represents the cost of the 5 used CDs, than your formula would be "26+4x" ,x being the amount of extra CDs you purchase.
The number CDs minus 5 is our x value, because the first 5 are the used CDs bundled into the $26 group.
26+4(6-5)
26+4(1)
26+4
30
6 CDs would cost $30
The answer is -8
I found my answer by using desmos. It is the best app for graphing. I wrote the equation and then I looked for the point 18 on the y axis and then I looked where it was on the x axis
that is how I found my answer.
The tape diagram should have one box for $5, 121 as the total. And some more boxes where the value is 14.50. Hope this helps!
The answer is 3x-3. You have to distribute the 3 to both of the variables in the equations. The 1 in the parentheses is a negative and multiplying the 3 will result in a negative 3.
